My car came from Virginia so...

but I haven't measured with a tread depth so I'm not sure how much is left. Looks bare to me but comparing with some photos of decent-good tires, they look normal lol.

Looking to replace my hodge-podge tire setup, I have the 275 GY Supercars's on the front, and Nitto 305' on the back. Was going to buy the Pilot SS, but yikes! almost $500/tire. I have the MRR017's (1LE size 285/305 intended), any suggestions for something that provides decent performance, won't break the bank, and will last a while? My 2SS is my DD. The Nittos are decent tires, (still a bit of tread on the rears), but not sure if want to repeat that or not. Thoughts? Im in Socal, so summertires a must.

An alternative the forums rave a lot about are the Firestone Indy 500s. Then there's the GMAX RS which is right beside it.

Bite the bullet and get the Michelin PS4S or the Continental ECS.

I think for the money you can't beat the Nitto G2's I have used Nitto's in my previous cars always with great results.. Will be installing these when my Goodyears wear down..

Checked Costco, a set of Michelins will be about $1800, yikes. I put some on my truck and love the quiet/comfortable ride, so I'd probably like them, but I'm a cheap b*'stard at times, will have to really sell myself that they'll last a while to drop that kinda coin on tires. .

I mean, that's what comes with running 1LE size tires. They're expensive.

I got a set of Michelin PS4S after the stock Goodyear right rear tore it's tread apart at 10,800 miles. They are amazing. Better ride and much better traction. I have over 21,000 hard miles on them and they still haven't hit the wear bars.

I picked up all 4, out the door, for $1,100 here in SoCal. When these die I'll be getting another set.

Wow, great deal, may I ask where you got 'em that cheap? Costco is about $1600 and Discount is $1800, installed with certs. . .
