Looking for tires that will last
Hi,
Like everyone else in this forum, I need some new tires on my 04 TL. My original tires are so bald I can barely make it down the street in the rain (20K on the tires). I have been doing some research and may get the Pirelli M & S tires. I live in FL, what do you guys recommend? Should I get these tires or something else?
Thanks for your time!!

When my BS EL-42s wear out, I will likely replace them with Pirelli PZero Nero M&S which have a treadwear index of 400. I only have 10,000 miles on my tires now and they are down to 7/32" tread depth.

You don't need a mud and snow tire in Florida. Go with a nice TOYO Proxes 4. You can get them for about 140 a tire mounted and balanced and they are great in the popup storms that happen in Florida. They will also give you a longer life than the EL-42's. I have them and they are incredible.

You might want to check out the Nitto NEO GEN tires. These are one of the stickyest tires and provide great wet wheather handling as well. Another great attribute about these tires is that they have the longest wear life even with negative camber from lowering the car.

Also, I am unfamiliar with the tread index for the Pirelli..is 400 good? (Repecat)

Anyone know anything about Dayton Fusion tires? I have been pricing the Pirelli Nero's and found that they may be a little too expensive for W speed rated tires that are only supposed to last about 25K. If I am going to spend $1000 to get tires, I would like them to last at least 35K. Has anyone had the Pirelli's for at least 20K can tell me how the tread is???
Thanks a bunch!!

Dayton is a value brand in the Bridgestone/Firestone family. If the parent company isn't willing to stamp their name on the side of the tire, it's a safe bet that there may be some compromises that you may or may not be willing to live with.

$85 each at edgeracing.com i believe. But that's w/o the shipping charge.
I got 3 of them at American Tire Depot here in socal for $348 (including install and free rotations/free tire repair)

They are about $105.00 each and get rated VERY good, the avs db s2
has a 500 treadwear rating... the m550 gets GREAT reviews!

Also consumer reports reported them as one of the best tires on the market. Do a search someone has posted the article or information from CR.
Let us know what you get and what you think.

I have the Fuzion HRi's (all season, about 1K miles). So far, they're fine. Very quiet compared to the worn out EL42s, handle very well in the rain. Some other people on this board have the ZRi's and like them as well. Both tires are getting good review on Tirerack.com. I got all 4 HRi's with road hazard for $498 OTD at Firestone, which includes a 30-day test drive. There's a few threads here that discuss Fuzion tires. Do a search for Fuzion.
