need replace my rear tires soon, trying to select one of following brands. Anyone has any recommendations to share? Thanks.


255-40ZR-17 Yokohama AVS ES100 $133
255-40ZR-17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S $225
255-40ZR-17 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 $227
255-40ZR-17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 $249
255-40ZR-17 Bridgestone Potenza RE050 (OE) $225

 

Depends on what you want from the tires... More grip or more life?

You can get a set of the OEM tires from Tirerack.com for $666.

 

Too me all are good, I'd perfer to save money on good tires since it's my DD.

 

RE-050A Pole Positions in stock size - I'm very happy with them and feel like a mild step up in grip from the OEMs.

 

I used to have the s02 on ap1 rims and those are the best street tires for those rims. Now for ap2 rims which I have now, i tried michelin pilot and they suck. I also tried the re050A pole position and the grip is not the same as the oem( Not recommened). I also tried the kumho mx and those are another piece of crap. Just stick with oem and u be fine for performance and hand eling. I now is more many but is worth the $$$.

Good luck.

 

I say stick with OEM

 

OEM has a nice price: 666

 

Don't skimp on tires. I like the RE050A...

How are the wears of front tires? I'll just get the same kind that you have in front. I personally like to have all 4 tires in same brands same kinds.

If you are willing to pay $250/tire, I would get 245/40/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R. It lasts long and grips really well.
