I need some Tires Reviews and Comments

I have 2005 3G TL and looking to purchase some new all season tires since my current tires are getting close to end of its life.

I am looking at the following tires where I am trying to keep around $100 to $110 or so.

I was doing a lot of research and was looking at the Yoko Advan S.4, the Coooper Zeon Sport A/S. They are two different tires performance and price wise, however I could not decide. But then I came across the General Altimax HP. The Altimax HP is not a UHP tire, but after a self-analsys of my driving habits, I decided it was the tire for me. Its Price vs performance was perfect for me.

I have about 300 miles on it so far and loving it. Much better the OE tires that came with my 06TL

Your tires are your only connection between you and the road. If you like the way your car handles now do not skimp in tires (if you can)

I've had two tires after my stock ones, Falken-452 in 245/40/17 and Sumitomo HTRZ3 in 245/40/18. Both were phenomenal tires.

It's interesting how no one but me runs the Sumitomo's on this board. They really are the best tires you can buy for under $500 in that size.

Yep - I wanted to try these too yet could not locate any in the 245/45 size. The reviews/price reflect exactly what I was looking for. Went with the Yoko W4s.

My tires are 245/40/18.

245 means that the tire is 245mm wide
40 means that the sidewalls of the tire are 40% of the tire width
18 is the diameter of the hole in the middle of the tire
