tire choices

alright guys, time to replace!
i was very pleased with the performance of the reo50's and was wondering if anyone had any experience placing any other tire than the stock one and felt equal or better performance of the tire at a better price.

thanks

Only other option in the 19's is the 760 Sport. Great tire that you should get a bit more mileage out of and better ride. Ranks as our top tire right now. Call me if interested!

NT-05.

Performance in the dry is at a whole different level. Wet, on the other hand, is a different story.

Wear wise, they should last you slightly less than the OEM 050A, but they also cost less.

Yokohama S.drive 275/35 rear, 245/40 front. Don't know how many miles I'll get with them but the price is nice and I just completed a 5k road trip and love the handling and ride.

You'll want to go 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 on the stock 19s. I get them from discounttiredirect.com; their prices include shipping. I wish Tirerack carried Nitto/Toyo, as I purchase everything other than NT05s through Tirerack...

If you liked the grip of the 050A, you're in for a treat. Stickier tire AND wider tread... (and the NT05 already has a wider tread width than tires of the same width...)
