Hope you folks can help. I'm having a hard time figuring out which tires to select for my '99 GS400. I'm looking for a good all-weather tire. I currently have Falken Ziex 512. However, I found them to wear out way too quickly. I've read Consumer Reports' reviews but I'm having a hard time deciding which speed rating to choose. I like the Yokohama Avid TRZ but they have a speed rating of T. So, I'm not sure whether this would be a good choice for this car. While I do not drive too aggressively or too fast most of the time, but people do tend to **** me off every so often . Then watch out and get out of the way. The other preference I have is that the tire should be good / ok in snow and rainy weather. Not being wealthy, this is my only car that I use for commuting to work as well as pleasure.

Thanks for your input.

 

Well speaking from my experience.......I personally like the Nitto 555's that I have. Don't think they'll do you any good seeing that you have to deal with snow and rain. Neither of which I see. My father has an 01 GS and had a set of Pirelli P6 Four Seasons on his and have to say that they were a good, all around, 4 season tire. Thats my 2 cents. Discounttiredirect sells them for $136 a tire, assuming you have 17's. Wasn't sure of what size wheel you have.

BTW, My personal value favorite is Sumitomo HTRZ II. Very quiet and soft ride comapred to my last tires which were pirelli Pzero. I got 50K miles out of my 245/35-20 Pirellis so I cant complain there either but the Sumitomos are much softer riding tires.

 

I did a lot of looking and reading before deciding on Nokian WR tires for my '97 ES.
Not sold everywhere but their web site lists sales locations.
By far the best all season tire I've ever had!
H rated.
Great in dry, wet and snow.
Somene else here mentioned them and I had never heard of them before.
Did the research and was sold!

Braheem -- were your Pirelli's the PZero Neros or the PZero Neros M&S?

 

Plain P-zero Bro. $650 for a set delivered all day long, got the same price on the sumitomos hopefully they last as long as the Pirellis (1.5 yrs / 50K miles).
