replacing tires

ricrick

i think its time to replace the tires of my mazda 3 w/ size 205/50R17. anyone knows where i can get  cheap and good quality tires? where is the cheapest place to replace my tires and where i can service my car at the same time in richmond?

all season? i bet the best option is to go 215/45R17...way more choice than 205/50...but have to double check the overall diameter, may have to go 225/45 to keep it close...

stock rim is 17x7? or narrower?

Also take a look at http://www.1010tires.com  They have user review and ratings.

Don't be cheap on tires, they are the only things touching the road.

I was checking Tire Trends just now, and for the stock dimensions, the Falken ZE-912 and Kumho Escta ASX are both available for around $150/tire.

I'm running on some Falken ZE-512 (an older model), s ...

Falken looks really good and cheap too. but, what is the thread life of these tires? compare to Michelin®Pilot® Exalto® A/S($205.99 at costco), which one will u choose?

well i just dun like how slippery falken's are on wet, especially when it's cold (like snow); that's why i am bias to kumho ASX...

yet Kumho AST is very ****ty, wouldn't recommand it at all...

i would recommand RE960 if budget is allowed, got them for many friend's cars and everyone is happy; ASX is cheap, but i think my next set will be RE960, really can't be cheap on tires even tho it's just a family wagon!

i wouldn't suggest Michelin cuz it's quite a bit more, and i dun think it's worth the diff...

i also love Dunlop SP5000, but it's getting old for that model; i dun like Pzero Nero as the sidewall is pretty weak @_@

唔知有冇人用過toyo versado﹖或者toyo tpt?

字典仔

tried TPT, traditional all season...i recalled it wasn't that good on snow and kinda bad on wet...

overall i wouldn't recommand that tire again

*very similiar to the FZ4 or sth lolz*

not sure about the versado, haven't tried yet
