I have a puncture in the sidewall of my stock Michelin tire. I have 25k on all 4 tires. Tiresplus is obviously recommending 2 new tires instead of 1 new one.

All they have in stock is the Firestone Firehawk GTA-02. Anyone have these or have opinions on these? What would you guys recommend for a good all-around tire. Don't care much about 1/4 mile times....just ride comfort and traction in all conditions.

thanks!

 

Did a search and came up with Yokohama Avid V4S. Seems to be what i'm looking for. Better reviews for it than the firehawks and cheaper too!

guess i should have searched first :o

 

Yes, you should have searched first. And, yes, the Yoko Avid V4S is an outstanding choice.

 

I have a detailed review of the yoko Avid V4's here.

For the price that they want for 2 stock michelin tires, you can probably get yourself 4 yoko avid V4's from tirerack.

 

dued same problem, I have a puncture in the sidewall of my sotck Michelin with only 8000 km. Only going to replace the one tire. Must be an issue with this tire.

 

Happened to me 3.
Got a puncture in the front right tire (nail). The tire place wanted $250/ tire stock. Yea... RIGHT! Like i'm going to pay $250/tire i was going to get rid of anyways.

I had the remaining 3 tires up for sale in the black market section since i went ahead and got all 4 new tires. They were available until tonight. Somebody said they were going to send paypal. But if they fall through, they are still up for grabs. I only wanted $50/tire + shipping too. Great deal!
The tires only have 19k miles on them.

 

Wow this thread is almost like a deja-vu. I had a flat on my rear-right tire, with the sidewall punctured. Had 30K miles on the car. I replaced with a Futura, just so I can change all 4 tires in another 30K miles.

 

Had my sidewall punctured as well a month back.

Stupid Michelins.
