Bridgestone generally has a better compound built into their tires with Uni-T. They remain soft and useful pretty much to the end of their life cycle. I cannot say the same for the Yokohamas. Pirelli P-Zero are a great tire for the money as well.

None of the above.

My pics are...
Summer tire

Kumho MX.....great dry, not as good wet...

Falken FK-451...great dry(not quite as good as the MX) and wet...and will, according to some here...work well to a colder temp than most summer tires.

Question

How about RE 750 vs Toyo T1-s? I can get $155/each out of door includes munting and balance for Toyo T1-S 225-45-17. It is a good deal?

Thanks!

For stock wheels, go with 205/55/16 or if you want a wider tire, 225/50/16. If you are buying 17s or 18s you can go with 225/45/17 or 225/40/18.

Not 225/40/16 or 225/45/16.
