My stock tires are done for and I am looking for something better than stock.
Any good recommendations?

 

how much and what kind of type are you looking for?

summer tires? all season tire? could be a big difference

 

how about all season tires?
my budget is about 160 each

 

vulcantire.com has Falken Azenis r-615's for around 120-140 each with warranty. check them out

 

and for the summer tires?

 

The 615's are summer tires (but they perform well in the rain).

They are pretty damn close to the stock RE-070's for a lot less $.

 

Potenza RE01-R's http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...ay.jsp?ttid=71 . I switched from S03's to the RE01-R's and so far so good. I finally scrubbed them in enough to beat on some back roads and I'm very impressed.

 

thx guys

 

holy **** you balling bro, $160 each you can get some really nice tires. just go for the performance, dont worry about the price. 225/45/17 or even 235 will be okay for $160 each

 

in the case of tires its pretty much, you get what you pay for. unless you can find a good tire going out of stock or a sale.

 

have anybody try a set of Nitto INVO?

 

Did you read up on the RE01-R's? Tire Rack hit 1.003g on the skid pad with a stock 325i and that's the best they've ever seen on the skid pad from a street tire. The ADVAN Neova AD07 barely outperforms the RE01-R's @ the track but they run $247 a tire compared to the RE01-R's price of $139 a tire which is a steal. They won't last long but they are by far the best performing tire in your price range and the ride is more comfortable than the S03's. I called around to different Firestone stores and got them mounted and balanced for $740ish. Everyone else was wanting at least a grand to $1100.

Is treadwear a concern?

 

I see you live in San Diego. screw the allseasons, just go right for the summer tires.

here's some sites u can check out:

thx guys great help

 

why do people hate on the stock RE070? I just got some RE750 off of craigslist; they were new and they were a real improvement over the WRX stock RE92's. I guess me being on 92's and the STI on 070's you guys aren't use to bad tires.
