(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Among the tires with the same wear/load/speed ratings the only difference I can see to use to decide is tread pattern and price... I think the Nittos look cool, but kinda would like to try something different, that also looks cool... what would you get? |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I have Hankook Ventus AS RH07 as my winters and haven't had any complaints. I've had them since I bought the car (about 5,000 miles) no complaints really. Great in snow, but that could be due to the awd. Not a lot of road noise, but they don't really have an agressive tread pattern. I have Yokohama AVID ENVigor's on now, but only about 1,000 miles. They are about the same so far. I haven't really got on them. Both sets have like a 60,000 mile warranty, so they may be up your alley, but those warranties are subjective to your driving habbits and prolly be a huge fight to get your money out of them. I use discounttiredirect.com and have nothing but good things to say about them.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Ive had them about 5k miles now. I like they way they look obviously. but other than that they do really good in the rain. taking fast turns they arent to bad either. they stick pretty well but give just enough to let you finish the turn properly |

(Thread Starter) | Neutral : +1 score Well I got the Nexens. I live 10 miles from the warehouse for Onlinetires.com | Wheels and Tire Packages | Tires & Wheels for Cars & Trucks, so no shipping costs. They don't carry the Nittos anymore, and I wanted to try the Nexens, which have a bit better wear ratings and looked cool. So far (only 500 miles, long way to go for real feedback) they are really quiet and smooth, good grip, I like them a lot. I think they are quieter than the Nittos were when brand new, but 2 years ago is hard to say I know what I heard. Anyway, $122.21 for the Nexens is a good deal. |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Bridgestones or Goodyears? I had Bridgestones, they were ok, but only lasted 28k miles. Most people got less than that on them. Pretty crap, they have a bad reputation. Nittos lasted 40k, had more grip, looked better and drove better, were way cheaper than any Bridgestone/Goodyear/Michelin tire I could find. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I have an 09 cx-7 GTAWD and I'm going to need tires this summer too. I noticed you guys talking about, I'm assuming, wider tires. I have steels for my winters, and the stock mags with the original tires the car came with for the summers. The question is can I go to the 245/60/18 on the stock mags as I have no problem with them. |
