Default Time for some tires.

Okay its time for some new tires.


Right now i have Nitto 555 245/40/18 (Front)
And Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS EMT Tire P275/40R18 (Rear)

The Goodyears are SLICK on the insides. Outside, looks like a brand new tire.

The Nittos look practically brand new. Even the insides. Just a little worn. Ill post pics tomorrow. I know its time for rear tires. But no way i can pay over 530 bucks for the same tire again. "Original owner had expensive taste"

I was wondering if i should get new fronts too. When i turn my steering wheel slightly to the left i feel a kinda rough feeling. I can hear it too. I dont know if its my tires or not. They have plenty of tread. Maybe the TINY bit of wear on the inside are causing it? Would it be worth getting new tires on the front?

As far as the rear goes, Yes new tires are in need pretty bad.

And recommendations? I see alot of people running the Ventus v12's.

Personally,I don't mix tire makes on a car.Stay with one on all 4 wheels.
IMO",the Hankook V-12's are the best.You should be able to get a set for around 800 bucks.18" are a value compared my 19's.Discount Tire is a great source for the Hankooks.They usually run a special on the popular v-12's.
I'd suggest you going with a 255/40/18 on the front.The 275's on the rear are OK

I'd match all four and run the V12's as mentioned above. Great bang for the buck summer tire. Lots of happy customers on those right now. On the all season side I would look at General's G-Max AS-03.

Good recommendations. Ran V12s before and loved them. My customers have raved about the AS-03s too.
