OK guys...I need some tire advice and I needed it yesturday...I had a blow-out on the way home from up-state Ny today and since I allready have a bubble on another tire...time to get some tires. OK...now I have three tires in mind. Remember they must be quiet, nice stance, and all around exceptional tire. I can't make up my mind so any and all advice on these three tires would be excellent.

1. Pirelli PZero Nero M+S

2. Yokohama AVS dB S2

3. Toyo Proxes 4

Thanks in advance guys...

 

Regarding the Pirelli PZeros:

Positives:
Excellent dry and wet grip
As quiet as the stockers
Good looking sidewall (especially when shine applied) and tread design
Have hit 2 major NY craters with no visible damage (235/45/17)

Negatives:
Tramline on any uneven surface - which is most of NY
Should not be classified as all-season - just plain horrible in snow/slush

 

My new Kumho ASX 235/45's are quiet and ride nice at 41/38psi. With 420 treadwear I even expect to get some miles out of them. I was considering your other choices as well and went with these based on reviews in tirerack. The only negative is that they flatspot if the pressure is below 38 (Max is 51).

 

I am also running 235/40/18 Kumho ASX, I just got them. So far I like them. No flat spot, I am now at 40 PSI.

BTW, What is the recommended PSI for our CLS for this tire?

 

32psi

 

That is for the stock tire. This tire has a max PSI of 51 compared to stock 41.

Nashua.

Falkens are also good cheap tires, I have a set of Azenis ST115 on my VW, handle and ride great.

I would say try out the new Kumho ASX if you're looking for all seasons.

 

cool thanks for the web-site..but I just found Proxes 4 on http://www.onlinetires.com/ for $108 each in 225/40/18's!!!!!
I'm prolly gonna order the proxes tonight so we'll see what happens. I did alot of research on the avs db's and everyone pretty much says that after 10k they become very noisy...FU*K THAT!!!And the pirelli's just don't catch my eye too much. Anyways...please give me all your advice possible again. I really appriciate this guys!!
