I need your opinion. TIRES.
When I got the car less than a month ago I noticed it came with some fairly 'new' tires.
Nankang NS-2s or something.
I know these are a performance tire and the treadwear is only 200.
I'm sure these are good for about 10k miles I'd assume.
But for now I am looking down the road,
I want something that will last long. I don't need performance or anything of the sort.
I'd like for them to be all season tires. Great tread life . Price not TOO expensive ( I know 19 inch tires are pricey but I'm just saying of the latter ).
I have the oem 19s.
If I remember correctly
225/40/19-F
245/40/19-R
please let me know if you can recommend a set that fits in my parameters and if possible, where to purchase them.
Thank you very much in advance guys and gals.

Whats your price range?
I had Falken 912s (all season) on my old set of rims... $104/tire (235/40/18), ~35K life. I thought they performed well during the summer I used them.
Btw, I might need to borrow your shop one of these weekends

Yeah I have NS2s on my car, the treadwear is like 200?? seems to be a tad bit low...
I dont even think my tires are all season bro, They look like summer performance.
i need either all seasons for 19s hooked up price from you.
or 17 inch rims with all seasons taht will fit my G.

if Neil offers a better price thru Discount Tire which I am sure he will, I'll just go with 19 all seasons. I do no t want to go through the hassle of getting other rims and such..
NEIL, you got text
and uhm. call me foo-izzle.

I loved my T1S, so I recommend T1R but they're not AS...if you can swing a set of snow tires, it would be worth it though. I have Proxes4 AS and I like recommend them.
I also had ContiExtreme and PilotSport AS...did not like both of them compared to the Proxes4.
