Default XFR Tires

Looking for new tires need advice/options.

2012 XFR currently running Hankook , but really just CA I-880 driving.

Options please asap, I got a small bubble on one of them and a slow flat on another due to the crappy hwy I-880 driving.

I am looking at these as they are cheap and I do around 25K highway miles a year.

Looking at Tire Rack, the best value for money seem to be the Kumho Ecsta PS91, and they also get good reports.
Not in the same class for grip as the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S, but 90% as good for 65% of the price, and they should suit you OK for mainly highway miles.

I've been running the Continental DWS06 - so far so good.

For highway only, I liked the ride of my Hankooks. Not sure if the price is right on those or not though.

I am trying out the Ohtsu fp8000s for daily driving. I heard that they're rebranded Falken 452s and made with Sumitomo rubber compound. I was able to get them on bbwheels.com shipped to my door for $485. Then had them installed for $60. So far so good. They seem good in dry and wet.
