Hey CL members I wanted to ask Yalls opinion on tires. So I'm looking at 3 different tires for my is 250 f sport which are

1. Bridgestone Turanzas Er33 Y rating
2. Dunlop Sp Sport Maxx Y rating
3. Michelin pilot super sport Y rating

Now the first one is what my car is originally equipped with but has no warranty.

Second one is what some IS are currently equipped but ask have no warranty

Third which I'm kinda leaning towards to because it's the best bang for the buck and they are all season tires. And backed up with a 45,000 mile warranty.

Tell me Yalls opinions or if y'all have any of these tires on what do y'all think about them thanks

many will say either Michelin pilot super sport or Hankook V12. I got the Michelin and they are nice but I think I might try the V12's next time just because of the price

yup hankooks are good . I had a set of the dunlop sport maxx gt and they are not bad but the V12's are I think the best bang for your buck.

If you are talking about best bang for the bulk, it should be Hancook V12. I am switching from Michelin to V12.

I've had both v12 and PSS on my 350. My pick would be PSS hands down.

first of all your post makes no sense. I doubt anyone read what you wrote, they just all responded hankook v12.

what is "but ask no warranty"???

second, there is no such thing as a PSS all season tire. PSS are max performance summer tires and are the most expensive you can get, so no where near bang for your buck. Did you mean to say Michelin pilot sport A/S?

Now to answer your question, what the car was originally equip with are junk tires so i wouldnt advise getting them. What is your requirement in a tire, are you looking at performance or thread life. Those two variables have an inverse relationship.

If you want the best bang for your buck tire on a performance basis, hankook v12 are your answer. If you want the best performance ever, ignoring price, PSS is your answer.

If you want good tread life/tires for incremental weather, then going PSS or hankook v12 are horrible decisions.
