What kind of tires do you run?

As some of you already know my tire was flattened (long story, its in the other thread), and I was wondering what tires do you guys have?

Cause getting the Continentals from the dealers cost an arm and a leg, 225 each. I was thinking of just going to costco to get some Michellins, but I was wondering if it would make a difference in the way the car handles or grips on the road.

I had Nitto Invo on my 350z and love them. They're usually a bit cheaper than other same size name brand tires. I'd also consider Hankook Ventus V12 Evo as they're pretty cheap and have a good feedback from people.

I just changed to Toyos Proxes T1R from treadepot. I was thinking to get Michelin but too expensive
I really like the performance of new tires. It looks good too!

I have the Kumho SPTs on 18" TSW Bremmas. They are quiet and ride well. Haven't pushed them as I don't drive very hard. When I do, that's what I have my Porsches for.

They look great in the sun and they are easy to clean lol but I did see some wheels that I did like, they were from Mercedes and its for the CLK, but I can't seem to find a picture of it. They kinda looked like Brabaus's

btw have you guys ever get a flat from these tires from a pothole?

How is the treadlife on this?

I was looking at this tire for the rear for both the CLK and the C. These cars eat tires!

Thanks.
