Best Bag 4 The Buck Tires???

[BMW4LIFE]

hey whats up guys i have did a search on tires and i had like 5 trillion results so im just gonna take the risk of getting flamed and ask you guys what ya'll think. i have a 1993 525i auto ...j/k...that is going to need tires pretty soon i checked out a lot reviews on a lot of tires and came up with these...

Sumitomo HTR H4 400 A A $49.00
Bridgestone Potenza G009 460 A A $66.00
Goodyear Assurance TripleTred 740 A B $88.00
any other options?????

now i love to take the corners hard (or as hard as the car can take) but at the same time i dont have the money for PZERO nor the need for them, i also would like to get good mileage of of the tire as i commute to school 100 miles a day... i was wondering which tire would you guys think would be the best

ps when i went to go get my suspension checked out the guy said that my lower control arm bushing was out and that when i braked the front tire would shift forward like 2 inch...is that true or is he trying to make some extra dough????

Quiet, good tread wear, and excellent traction.

I'm getting rdy also to get a set..

I'd love to get a set of Toyo Proxes4, but only comes in the TPT style in my rim size. I've got Kumho's ( only$42 each) on there now that lasted 65k, but since I upgraded Sways I needed a stiffer sidewalls. Are you running 225/60R15's? If I could get a set of nice 16" rims to replace my 15" baskets perhaps I'll go with the Toyo Proxes4. Perhaps RigMaster has a set for trade?

Those Bridgestone Turanza LS-H run over $118 each, but I heard they are great.

Bridgestone Potenza G009 these are only $75 a pop..

Anyone from the peanut gallery wish to chime in?

I have had Potenzas on my car since July and have been very happy. I bought the car in December and they had the Turanzas on. My mechanic told me to stick with the Turanzas for handeling but the Potenzas will last long and be a bit better in the wet. They were also $50 less per a tire so the decision was very easy for me.

A retired BMW mechanic I know has been running Firestone Affinity LH30 on his sons E34 and has been happy with them. He says he can't find any tire that will last longer.

yeah, I'm going to agree with this one. I paid $50 a tyre for 205/60/15s, a 60,000 mile warranty, and speed rating up to 130 or so. Rides just fine, and I'm into the twisties as well. The tread feels pretty soft, but at $50 a tire, you can replace them twice as often as a $100 tire, and have more fun doing it.

Now, if you want the best BANG for your buck, go get some firestones.

Avon if you have 16" or higher wheels.

[Gooch]

Had them a year, hardly worn. Good traction for the miles you get out of them.
