Need advice on new tire?
Just caught a flat yesterday
.that would be the second one in a month. I'm not spending anymore money on the Toyos so these are my options: Brigestones RE730 $159, Michelin Pilot sport A/S $219 and Michelin Pilots $260. Need advice quick.

I forgot to mention the reason behind getting new tires is b/c I buying from Costco....they offer road hazard so if I get a flat they rplace the tire.

Costco quoted me a price of $185 (installed) for the Bridgestone SO3's (225/40/17)...I got 235/45/17's from TireRack.com for $153.
Alot of people say the RE730 are awesome for about the first tire rotation period but then get super loud and lose their traction. I've loved these SO3's every single day since I've had them. I'll try T1-S's next...just to compare.

I hear you...
I also had 2 flats in a month with the Toyos. However I did have the road hazard(well after the first tire went) That was the first month I had them, & haven't had a problem since. If you can spend the money I'd go with the Michelin all seasons.

Here's another opinion on the re730's. I have 15k miles on them they still look very good and the noise is not any more than the stock tires. It's just a different noise on different surfaces. I do mostly HW miles at 75mph. This might be why the tires hardly show any wear.
