Dilemma

I have to replace my two front tires on my CL-S, thanks to the lovely potholes in Chicago. Do I replace all 4 with better tires? Or do I just buy 4 new tires??? Where can I find the Michelins cheap? What other tires can I use?

Thanks,

Spiro

Might as well get wider Z rated tires. I know the stock ones go for around 160 to 175 a pop.

Comptech Headers, Comptech Sways, Eurolite Xenon Crystal high beams.
AEM CAI once they decide to make the dame thing.
235/40/17's or 225/45/17's once I found out which one works for me.

gtech 0-60 6.03 w/ 438 pound load. preheader.

SPIROH,
Tire Rack sells the original Michelin tires for about $140.
Dunlop SP Sport 5000 is a great tire, but sells for about $ 190 at Tire rack. Good luck.

I have bought from both tirerack and discounttireco.com and they were both very good. This fall I replaced the Explorer recalled tires from discounttire and did it all over email and it went well.

As far as replacing stock or not, check you budget. I would love to replace the stock with an upgrade (not in size though) but can't justify the expense - you might be able to.

Thanks for the reply guys. I think I'm just going to stick with stock, since buying 4 new tires would cost an arm and a leg.
