New here.
I just wondering what you guys think is the better choice.
I am looking at replacing my tires on my 08 RDX. until now I have had the stocks. I was looking at costco. I like the Nitrogen and unlimited tire rotations.
so the only 2 choices I have are the OEM or Bridgestone Alenza. With the Michelin 70 instant rebate its about 130 difference. and I know I just missed the bridgestone rebate.
what what do you guys think is the better choice. Also I need this asap so I cant order from tire rack. Or does anyone have a good place in socal that has good prices on tires?
Thanks

 

Have you tried Discount Tire? I have had excellent service from them! They have also matched or even beat Tire Rack prices. Plus they install!

 

+1 And they are usually lower than Costco.

 

go with the bridgestone alenza ... have them on my sequoia and i love em

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I went with the bridgestones. Went to American tire for 808 out the door.
Are these supposed to be the same psi as the oem. They filled them to 35-38 psi.

 

No. If you look at the OEM tire max psi it was probably 44. The Bridegstone has a max psi of 51. They have a softer sidewall so you need the extra air to maintain the sidewall rigidity.

I got my RDX with the Alenzas and the dealer had 32 psi; they looked and rode like a half flat tire. I pumped up to 38-40 and they run great. I also improved my gas mileage by 4 mpg over the dealer setting. I've got 16K on them with virtually no wear and I do a rotation with each oil change in my garage.

 

awesome thanks for the info, I will make sure they are all in the 38-40 range.
