I just got 4 new ones and a front/rear alignment at Pepboys. The tires were a good deal and are guaranteed for life, so if anything happens, just take them to any Pepboys and they repair/replace. Also, free tire rotation every 5000 miles.

I'll also add Yokohama Avid Touring. They're about $45 each and last forever (60k easily). Fairly quiet although once worn, they get a little louder. They're not sporting tires, but very comfortable.

Falken ze512 are cheap but as they get older they get louder and annoying. These tires are perfect for city driving and they are cheap. I use them as street tires since my car is lowered and camber wear kills tires in 10k.

They sell quite a few Toyo 800's around here. I know of people with 4 cylinder Camry's equipped with them and they'll get 36 or 37 mpg

It's time for me to change mine too. I'm considering BFGoodrich Traction A/T from Costco. They'll cost me about 75 bucks a piece (including installation and lifetime rotation and balancing). Does anyone have an idea about the Tractiion T/As? I couldn't find Toyos around here.

As a side note, anybody in Houston who wants the original 3.2 TL wheels with 50% worn Yokohama Avid Touring tires is welcome to take them from me.
Or you don't have to be from Houston, but be willing to come here.

Yeah, I've read really good reviews about the Assurance Triple Tread. I'm wondering if I should cheap out and go for the BFGoodrich Tractions or go for the Goodyear Assurance. The Assurance are pretty expensive though.

I would recommend the Goodyear’s over other ties. I haven’t owned many tires (Kelly Sprinters before this set) but from what I can tell after 3 thousand miles, they are great. Go with the Goodyear’s.

Top two tires are Dunlop Sport 5000 and Michelin Exalto a/s.

Falken 452's are better, but $$. I put Direzza DZ101s on my m8's Accord, and they're holding up just fine. Gives a bit of a warning before slipping out, but doesn't slip too much.
