Ran over a bottle..Tire question

Tire can't be fixed. Good idea to replace just one, two, or all four tires? Existing tires have 16,500 miles.

What is a good all around tire?(Performance, longevity, and price.)

Thanks in advance.

I think it depends on your budget. If you are fine with your current tires, I would get a used tire and replace it. Some ppl are selling theirs a while back. I think stock tires suck, so I replace all 4 with performance tires.

I agree, its all up to how much u want to spend. If i were you and had some money to spare get better tires, u wont be dissapointed. I got a quick question though, Why does my brothers 99 CL have Pirelli's that came stock? and ours have these half @$$ tires now?

If your on a tight budget, rotate the tires/wheels to the back if it's not already there, and get a new tire. 16,500 miles is not that much on tires.

For those of you who have changed your tires to performance tires, are they louder than stock tires? I think the Michelins are quiet and provide a nice ride. I do however feel that they lack grip on turns. They do wear very well though. I have 51k on mine and I still have very good tread left on them. I compared them to a new tire from my loaner and they felt the same.
