Default Tire'd

I have Michelin Pilot XGT H4 and they are pretty much done for. Im wonderin what tires to buy for normal street use. Its my DD 93 and stock wheels on it. Im lookin for something with decent life but also better than crappy performance. Im on a limited budget as well.

thanks

these are actually very nice tires for the price. we sell them at work and put them on all our audi's and some other german POS's but they are great handling tires for normal street tires and have a good wear to them

I ran the Michelin Pilots, lasted only six months, a good sticky tire and expensive. Also the goodyear runflats harder compound, but very expensive,these lasted a year before I had to replace them. And BFGs great tires but didn't last long. I decided to try out Cooper tires. I ran them on my truck and they were really great. So far I am really imprest with them. They are fairly inexpensive if you are running 17s compaired to other tires. They are made in AMERICA also!!!!!!The Yellow Stang likes em.
