Default help on tires

Yes its that time of year again. I need new tires for the spring time...I have been pricing some of them, but want to know what everyone thinks of there tires. I was going to buy S-02 again but the price it 630 I will not buy S-03 again i don't like them at all. I was looking a Toyo tires? Any help would be great..prices would be even better

Thanks for you help.

Did you check out the tirerack's website for choices? www.tirerack.com They have quite a bit of info there. I don't think they sell Toyo tires though.

What didn't you like about the S03's? I find them to be an excellent all around tire. Toyo's are light tires and could give you a little more power, but aren't to the level of S03's, but since you don't like S03's, Toyo may be the tire for you; good wet weather traction in my friend's A8. DirectTire quoted me around $550.00 (I think) for 4 top-of-the-line Toyo's installed with alignment last year.

Thanks for all the help. I didn't not care for the S-03's because i replaced them twice! And once the rears, then the front went..now this time I will replace all 4! They Were GONE no tread at all left in only 3-5,000 miles. I just wanted a better tire and not have to replace them to 20,000 miles. My S0-2's lasted for 25,000 miles.
