Need new summer tire, any comment?

my original 04 TL Bridgestone Potenza 235/45ZR17 is almost done, any suggestion for a set of reasonable cost effective summer tire ? fyi, I have a set of Kumho 16" winter tire already, thanks for all your input.

General Exclaim UHP are on my 01 TL and I really like them.
Great wet braking and corning- awesome dry everything, and bargain priced.
Some parts of the country are low on stock- ck firestone dealers for availabilty locally

Since you are talking Summer tires, the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions are great.

The Falken FK 452's are also great.

But, the best tire on the planet is the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

I have the Bridgestone Pole Positions and love them...great handling, wet and dry. I've heard a lot of good things about the Falken 452's as well. Two different price points so depending on your budget...

Second vote for the General UHP's Awesome tires for the price. Can be had for 85 bucks a piece at the tire rack online. I'm getting 4 installed soon with all the road hazard stuff for 117 each at Kauffman tire. (but first Acura has to give me my car back)

I second the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 they are the best tires high performance tires I have ever owned. The are $155 a piece from Tirerack. I am not sure if that is too much money for you to spend on tires. Tirerack has a $50 mail-in rebate on the purchase of 4 tires as well.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 are amazing in dry conditions and even better in the rain. The tire wear is not too bad either.

Very true, I loved the GS-D3's but if you want to go one better try Bridgestone RE-01's. These tires are amazing and transform the TL into the handling machine it was designed to be.

If you are on a budget go with the General Exclaim's

Sumitomo HTR Z III. I'm running them on my A-Spec's and love them. Check out tirerack's reveiws on them. For a $120 a tire they can't be beat.
