Anybody try this before? My primary concern for tires are quiet, comfort and trendware. The stock Bridgestone RE030 is a piece of *****. These are $144 a piece at tirerack.

Also, any GOOD shop in SoCal (Pasadena area) to install tire and do alignment at the same time at GOOD price?

Thanks in advance!

Prost,

The Yokohama AVS DB's are nice. I set my friend with a set and couldn't believe the sound quality of the ride. Her car was running 245/40ZR18 and 275/35ZR18 for the rear. If you like to take high-speed corners and expect ultimate dry traction, these are not the tires to get. However for a comfortable ride these are excellent. Discount Tires in El Monte is very competitive.

P,

try Grand Prix Tire in Monterey Park. Fremont ave, off 10 freeway, not far from S. Pas. ask for CHRIS. tell him you are with club lexus and william from diamond bar( i talked to him last week reg. yoko avid h4 tyres for the c-class).

he often match tirerack prices. if not, order from the rack and take them to him for install, he has good machine, and does good alignment ~$60-4 wheels. just call and get a quote for the tyres. if you get the tyres from him, he would discount the alignment.

P,

have you consider Bridgestone re730? several members use them for great traction, handling and very low noise.

About those Yokohoma DB's
I think I will buy a set soon, but besides being an exceptionally quiet tire, how do they absorb the bumps?
Also, can anyone post a pic of them? I am curious about the way they look. I once bought a set of Continentals for my SC and it made the whole car look awfull. They were dull ad faded and even though I stayed with the stock profile size, the continentals looked twice as tall as the michelins that I had on the car before.
thanks

I took my car to "Just Tire" for putting tires on the rims, installation, and alignment for under $100.

Prost

Thanks for all the advice. I will also look at the RE730. humm.......The SO-3pp is worth a look too. Well, hard to decide!

Are the S-O3s out???? Anyone know the cost of 245-35-20?

Prost

(nt)

RacingAristo

tirerack doesn't have any Brigestone 245/35/20 for yah.

MikeGS4PE

But...Bridgestone is still going to make that size right...it was on their website...

RacingAristo

Yeah. They should....hopefully.

MikeGS4PE

Well...I will check with the discount in my area tomorrow...i just received my wheels, so I was going to buy the nittos, but for 200 more, it is probably worth it...i will let you guys know

MikeGS4PE

Ops...I was just thinking about it....I could get the springs I am looking for and the Nittos for the same price of the S-03s...hmmm....I will still see what my hook up can do...
