Tires?!? Idk what to get :/

Hey y'all. My pirellis are about shot. I've been looking at tires for a week now and still don't know what to get. I always thought I would get more pirellis but geez, they wore out fast. I just want to get my money worth. I'm looking for a all season tire, trying not to go over $850 for the total price. It would be nice to have them last 40-50k miles. Any suggestions?!?

Check Tirerack.com - They've got some good reviews, and a pretty good variety of tires. All seasons aren't going to be near the performance you're used to from your Pirellis, but might be hard enough tires to get 40-50k.

I love the BF Goodrich g-Force Sport's that I have on my car. However, they're summer performance tires (seemed decent in the nasty winter conditions), and they're pretty gone at 32k, but I abuse them pretty good.

discounttiredirect.com has better prices than any place I've seen so far ... Go for the Nitto's ...

So far tire rack is where I've been looking. I seen the Bridgestone drive guards on there and was considering them but they don't have any reviews. I have a friend that works at a tire place and he suggested Falken Azenis. Do you guys know anything about those?

I will look on the other site today. Thanks guys.

I would say that if you can get the Cooper RS3-As, do. They're all seasons, they're pretty quiet, last a good long while, and grip on any surface, seems. I was extremely happy with the rain performance. I'm sure there are better that some would say, but so far, these are the best I've had.

I was more confident with the 235/55R17s in the RS3-A than I am with the 275/40-R18s GMaxs I have now. The GMax is an ok tire, but I'll be getting the Goodyear F1s next time in the staggered 255/285 setup like the 2010 GT500 'Vert had, and hoping they're an improvement. I would have gotten the RS3-As, but they don't make them in the 275 or 285/40s except the summer, which I really would rather not.

In case that helps/matters!

I have been shopping for tires for all my cars...

Tread Depot by fare has the best prices. On one of my mustang and my FX I am running Cooper Zeons. Great tire. You will be surprised at the price. Several guys here got them and said they like them.

Also try Discount Tire They have free shipping now.

I bought the Michelin Primacy MXV all-seasons. They've got around 10,000 miles on them now, and I'm well satisfied so far. I got them at Discount Tires, and they came in well below $850. You might check them out to see if they would suit your needs.

I no longer have the 235/50/18 Cooper RS3-A tires mounted on 18x8.5 Bullitt wheels, but here’s a couple of surviving pics:

I have had the RS3-A's for about 5000 miles and have nothing but good things to say about them.
