what tires do you recommend?
Hey guys,
I have a blown tire, and the rest are starting to wear out heavily, i was looking at the tire rack.com but theres so many options and barley buy tires to know much of the differences, i saw the OEM one's but there at $600 plus installation.
What tire do you recommend for good all season use (east coast) trying to keep it under $500 if possible.
the two that caught my eye were :
Kumho Ecsta 4X
and
Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval AS
let me know what you guys recommend, I have absolutely 0 luck with tires and wind up replacing them with used ones religiously and now i rather just invest in new ones.
thanks!

I just replaced mine with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's. So far, I love them. I don't have much experience with other tires, but the Pirelli's that came with the car when I bought it were horribly loud, the new ones are a lot more quiet and I definitely enjoy my daily commute a lot more.
Great grip so far in the wet and dry, but I can't comment on their snow performance. Lots of other threads that cover that though.

Just bought Michelin PS AS3's from Costco. they charged $15 per tire to install and provide their road hazard warranty (by far, the least expensive in my 3 state area... total with 6% tax was under $890. This even beat out TireRack)

I'm thinking this is the best deal so far?

I also purchased through Costco, $15/tire plus added road hazard warranty is worth it.
The Discount Tire Direct price seems good, but be sure to get the tires installed by a good shop and find out before-hand how much they charge for installation. It might end up being close to the Costco total price in which case I would go with them.
