For those looking for 215/50-17 replacement tires, here are two new ones I saw on tirerack:

Bridgestone RE960 Pole Position:


Kumho ECSTA SPT:

in the market for tires too. damn these falken 512 suck. been just about a year, and they're already bald. (& loud!)

I have BF Goodrich Traction TA V on my '02 TL-S and I like them...they're all-season, though.

I recommended Traction T/As to a colleague and she's happy with them on her car. The Potenza RE960 Pole Positions seem like a nice, but pricey choice in an all season tire. The Kumhos look slick. These days I'm totally diggin' Bridgestones so I have plans on "retiring" my three cars with Bridgestones when the time comes. For my TL and since I live in the south, I've got my eye on a set of Expedia S-01s (I'm looking at a set of Potenza RE-01Rs for my Porsche and a set of Potenza RE-750s for my wife's Olds).

Just figured I'd post a heads up for those looking for tires in our hard-to-find 17" size.

Those Kumhos have a very good price ... especially for the low profile 18s and 19s ... I would get those ... (and i like how it has ECSTA on the tread ...)

The Kumhos are nice, as is the price. I had them on my stolen wheels .Thinking about getting them again to replace the crap Michellins I had to get with my new type-s wheels.

Yeah, those Kumhos are nice...and cheap. I just went with the Yoko AVS ES100's...haven't put them on the car yet though. Got them for just under $500 shipped from tirerack, which wasn't a bad price as far as I am concerned. I'd be interested how people like those Kumhos though.
