and ultra high perfermance all season tires r better than others?

How are you doing? Did u manage to call Advance for the AEM CAI??

I voted other just the fact I never tried the others you have mentioned. Currently I am running Falken Z512's and they are alot better than the EL 42's. They are really good tires for the $$ but the only drawback about these Japan made tires is road noise. Seem to hear some road noise after a 1yr of use. But other than that the tires perform really well in dry and wet conditions.

I'll be interested in the results of the poll also. I'm considering replacing my Michelin HX MXM4's. They seem to be good only on dry pavement and there isn't that much of it where I live.

hi man~ I'm good, and I will call them when I get the CAI, probably after Jan 15th...

PS: thanks for sharing those info. above.

mio

based on the info in tirerack.com, the Michelin Pilot sport A/S is much better thatn the HX MXM4... well, u'd better check that urself...

jmbnova

of your choices I would say the cont. They are a pretty good tire.... But what about like a Potenza or a Falken?

I just got the avons and I am very satisfied with them. They are an amazing improvement over the EL42's. I am suprised there aren't many votes for them?? They have the highest rating on tire rack for a reason and at $100 a piece they are a bargin.

I always have this question about Avons. do they temp. flat spot bad like every morning. any off round shakes and stuff i read in the tirerack user reviews? i wanted to get them and studied them for a while. shied away from it for lack of TL user review here. i am glad that you bot them now we have some real user inputs. cuz for the money they seem great on paper (tirerack's). please share. thanks.

Does anyone know if the road hazhard comes with the Avons or Conti's? If you have to buy it for the Avons, the prices is pretty close.

I've had a whole variety of tires, but the best ones so far have been Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. My TL came with Yokohama AVS100 and I'm extremely disapointed.

BTW, where did you find the Michelin PS A/S for $191? What size are they? Because I'm curently planning to buy them as replacements for the Yokos, and the 235/40/18s are $235 (at www.tirerack.com ) and $243 (at www.discounttire.com ).

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S still have the sport pattern, stick to the road extremely well, wear much slower than any regular sport tire and are extremely quite and smooth riding. I loved them on my BMW

I found it here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...None&x=67&y=15

and I think that is for the stock rim 17"

Filip75

yeah, these are for 17s.

I missed a very good one: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ero+Nero+M%26S

the rate is higher than the MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S but the price is much lower than the SPORT A/S.

the price (Pirelli) is $135

the price (Michelin) is $191

P Zeros get very loud, very fast

I just got a set of kumho ecsta asx 245/45/17 tires. The larger size and the softer tire made a big difference in the ride, compared to the OEM bs tires, which in their last awful days ran like tank treads. The kumhos are very quiet and much easier on the divider strips and bumps in the road and the handling is still just as responsive. Expected tread life is 40000+ miles (treadwear 420) compared to the 24000 I got on the bs tires (w/ treadwear 260). They also don't look too fat from the side but have a wider, more muscular look from the front and rear. I would highly recommend them, especially in the 245 size. Price on Tirerack was $92. I highly recommend them.

yeh, I saw it too, the price is only $91, very valuable.
