    I need to throw on 4 new tires on my S.

    Just wondering if anyone has any good recommendations.

    My girl just bought a 4 set of these:

    Dunlop Direzza DZ101

    And they seem to be pretty decent.

    Anyone know of better tires for the price range?

    My tire sizes are:

    Front: 205/55/16
    Rear : 225/50/16

    I personally like the Bridgestone Potenzas, they have crazy grip here in the FL heat, and work great in the rain too. They even did pretty good in the snow/ice/slush when I was in NC.

    Let us know how those tires do for you though.

    bridgestones potenza tires are nice, but expensive and very noisy.

    whatever you do, dont buy firestone.

    my Falken ZE912s have been great so far
