I'm switching from my Dunflops to either Michelin Pilot AS or Bridgestone 960 AS. Tire Rack rates the 960 higher in nearly every category, particularly ride. 960s are also about $50 bucks less per tire so I think I will give them a try from Discount Tire with new custom wheels.

#28 of 35 have one new Potenza want to buy 3 different tires by lauvicrya Mar 30, 2009 (3:27 pm)
My SC430 has 1 new Bridgestone Potenza RE040 RFT; replaced last week. Want to replace other 3 with Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval RFT. Anyone have a thought on how this will work out?

Replying to: heatmiser (Sep 30, 2008 6:44 am) Just replaced my Michelin sport A/S with Goodyear GT from discount tire. Love the ride and handling and a lot cheaper than the Michelins. Excellent reviews on Tirerack.
#30 of 35 Run Flats or Regular by oldersc430 May 07, 2009 (10:57 am)
My dealer says I have to get new tires immediately or risk death to self and family. The tread (original Bridgestone Potenza, 245/40ZR18) still looks pretty good and an independent mechanic said 2-3K more miles if not at speeds. I have 35,000 miles on these tires. My ride is as tough as it has ever been and it is super noisy. I want to switch to regulars. But then there's the Kit business ($1400 quote from my dealer). So, I'm with the others who are buying their own donut. What size? Also, in the $250 -$300 range - what's a good reg tire for handling (no snow) and noise?

Replying to: lucywest (Oct 19, 2008 2:09 pm) Lucy, Did you every change your tires? I just bought at sc430 and I really really hate the run flats. What was your outcome?
#32 of 35 Do you need tpm. by jimbo409 Jun 02, 2009 (6:46 pm)
What will happen if you just put on regular tires without the tpm sensors, will the light stay on and beeper stay on. Thanks jim Replies to this message: dprocyk (Oct 25, 2009 8:24 pm)
#33 of 35 Re: [bbatts] by bbatts Sep 02, 2009 (3:11 pm)
Replying to: bbatts (Oct 21, 2008 8:32 pm) I tried the Bridgestone 960 for about 45 days. Never could get a smooth ride, then Discount Tire identified 3 of the 4 were out of round. Discount Tire was great to work with but I lost all confidence in Bridgestone. I requested to replace all 4 tires with Michelin Pilot AS Plus. I gladly paid a little extra for the Michelin's and now have a great smooth ride. I'm not a hard driver, so a smooth, quiet ride is important. Michelin's do have a very slight grumble up to about 30 MPH that I did not notice on the Stones.
