Default What tires to choose...

I have the factory 17" bullitts with 235/50/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions on them right now. They came with Perelli pnero zero's in 235/55/17 and i was very unhappy with them.

I need new tires very soon and am having trouble choosing a set. I am looking for something with good wet/dry traction, not worried about winter because i have winter tires/wheels, good handling/steering response, and good tread life for a decent price.

I loved my bridgestones but they're kinda pricey. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

its been a good while since i had them on so i can't tell you exactly why I didn't like them anymore haha but i do remember that i don't like them. probably had something to do with traction or sidewall strength though.

What does the tread life look like on the Nitto 555's?

What about these... :

if you cant remember why you disliked your Perelli's then it doesn't seem like it was anything important. mine have been holding up very nicely but then again, i don't drive like a jackass. nittos are popular, look into those.
