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.
