My 2001 still had the original conticontacts on them after 60k miles, the first owner never changed them.

I just bought all new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 18's from Costco here. I'll let you know as they just put them on today!! $265 per tire, $1200 total including balance/install/disposal. They've got 45k mile warranty.

 

Just ran across this site.......... www.tirebuyer.com Want some inexpensive tires? They have them. This is not a recommendation from me. Just for your info.

 

Just replaced all 4 BF Goodrich T/A KDW NT with Nankang NS2. Both are summer tires.

The BFG last about 18K miles, probably can go another 1K or so, but the noise was getting really loud, especially the rear ones - since the treadwear is a bit worse there. The BFGs are better (IMO, so this is subjective) than the original Pirelli PZero system - at least for me.

Bought the NS-2s from an eBay store (buywheelstoday), staggered size (F: 255/35/20, R: 285/30/20) - for $612 total with shipping. Installation at local Lambs for $60. The store also has an online presence but their total price through eBay is lower by about $50 or so ... Go figure.

Nankang is a Taiwanese-brand, not well known here, but quite popular back home in SE Asia.

So far so good. Not sure how long the Nankang will last but probably won't matter - looking to swap for an X-150 gen car.

I read somewhere on a different thread (and suggested to me as well) about Conti DWS all-season.

 

Hahaha!!! TMI boiys! I have these Roto tires on my 2002 XK8 and I've put 30k on them but they GOTTA go. I am more confused than ever by this thread. At least I have ten tire brands to look at now!
