Which Tire Would Be Best??


Ok I just went to my local America's Tire Co. They walked out to my car and took a look at the stock Pirelli PZero Nero M+S P235/55ZR17 98W (not a tire guy so just copied specs from the tire) and gave me a couple options. I have read up and found that Michellin is the best and thats good but I am on a budget here. I have a card through them and it has $700 available on it. I dont mind paying $800 out the door. They offered me to replace the tires with the exact ones that is has now for $625 (including their replacement warranty and all of that). Or they offered me some Yokohama S-Drive 235/55R-17 103W XL B (copied from their paperwork) for $725. The guy told me that the yoko's are better for grip and performance. So I decided to go with these, but they are on order and wont be in until Monday at least, so I do have time to change my mind.

I am driving a 05 V6 that I use for normal city driving but sometimes I open up on the freeway. There are no mods on the vehicle, it is all factory. I purchased it used and it only has 31k miles on it, so it looks/feels brand new. I am just trying to find the better deal. Thanks for any input that you can offer!

America's tire is also Discount Tire so you are in the right place. The Sdrives are great tires to so I back the recommendation. They have good wet traction and excellent dry traction they are also very smooth and quiet on the road. You will be very happy with this tire. $725.00 installed with warranties is a great price, remember the warranty covers you for FREE replacement (not a pro rated replacement), you also get Free Flat repair and your balance is good for the Life of your tires.

Let us know what you think of them when you get them bolted up.
