I'm needing new rear tires soon and I usually go to NTB and I have used yokohama and there sumo... something. I just want something durable. I have stock rims. Any suggestions? thanks for ur help in advance.

 

Summer is coming, I would get a set of S02's (OEM Tire) as they are the best for the car. But there is a good number of tires. I don;t know what fits the OEM rim these days as I use those rims for the track.

KDW is a good long waring tire, I just don't know it the they have a fitment for the 16" OEM rim.

 

$176 for rear oem tire, is it worth it? or would it be the same if I purchase another brand at NTB or another place?

 

Nothing sticks like them for our cars short of race rubber. You have a 30K sports car, don't you want to drive it as it was designed?

 

these are the signs of the times.......................................

 

thanks alot. I will get the OEM as soon as I get my next paycheck.

 

The OEM bridgestones are nice tires. Actually, they are incredible tires. But they are also pricey.

The Goodyear F1 GS-D3 are also pretty nice (you can order them from Tirerack etc). A good friend just bought a set of the F1's for his E36 M3 and have found them to have excellent grip, and decent ride noise.

Of course, a little cheaper and you could go Kumho MX. Not long lasting, but high performance and half the price of the former tires mentioned.
