| Hey guys I know this topic has been addressed before, but I was just wondering what is your best bang for your buck tires, I just found out today that I have a nail in my one tire and it's at such a angle that it's not repairable. So I am in need of new tires and ones that lasts longer then my Goodyear tires. The tred life is so short and this is my daily driver and I would need a good all season tire. So any suggestions and a little info about the tire would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everybody in advance. | |

| I will need a new pair in the next couple of days. So the more help the better. How pricy are the tires? | |

| what size are your rims? i couldn't find any info on your car here.
i can't check the boards when i am at work so i just got your messages now and we closed at 6pm. i am not in the shop tomorrow since i am doing a bridgestone ride and drive in Arlington Park to test tires. so Thursday is the earliest i can check to see what is available.
it depends what tire you want but if we don't have it in stock it can take a couple days to order it in. | |

| I can vouch for the winter driving. This car is my daily and I never had any issues. I have drove on roads that were not plowed and yeah I slipped around a bit but never got out of control. Once I found pavement they gripped well. I put at least 60 miles a day on them when I was going to the office 5 days a week so I went through mine at a good clip but I also drive fast and I am rough on the car so...
Jon recommended them to me and when I had to replace and they were backordered and I got something else I was not happy with what I got. They were good for a few months then no traction at all.
GL with whatever you end up getting. | |
