Do a search for Yokohama S drives. Good tires for a good price. Many members have them, including me.

+1 on the Yokohama S drives for a good replacement tire that won't hurt your wallet. You should be able to get them for around $800 to $900 a set.

If you have NTB in your area, they can order them if they're not in stock.

I got mine locally through a friend but I believe Tire Rack has pretty good pricing. You can call them or PM their rep on the forum.

Mine were installed at Wheel Wherehouse in Anaheim because that's where I got my alignment too but any shop should be able to install them. I'm at around the same mileage as you

make sure your tires arent staggered...


staggered sizes are Tire Size Front: 225/45-19 | Tire Size Rear: 245/40-19 (change)

Imo, if you put a lot of miles on ur car, then go w/ the Yoko S Drives. If not as much, go w/ Hankook Ventus v12 for better performance at the cost of shorter life.

If you order through Tire Rack, I have heard good things about Shoreline Motoring in HB . . .

S-Drive is a great tire, B-Stone RE760 a great tire as well for summer use. I don't show they make the S-Drive in the stock 225/245 combo, however.

Bridgestone is no longer making the 760's in 275/35/19's anymore. I was set on getting this but had to settle for the S Drives. I guess they don't like making that size rear? *shrugs*
