I need to replace my tires again. I'm on my forth set of the Dunlop 9000's (205/45/16's) http://www.dunloptire.com/sp9000/
and had one set of the 8000's http://www.dunloptire.com/tires/SP_8000.html
(that I didn't like) on my 97 Teg. I'm considering on getting a differnt set this time. I don't need max perfomance and perfer a tire that has a longer tread rate then the 9000 which is 280 and still have the perfomance of the 9000's. I need a high tread rate cause I put a lot miles on my car for work. Does anyone know of such a set or a test done a sevral tires from a non partial source? Please list all detail's (web sites,model #'s,why,tread rates....). Also need a tire that does good in all conditions. Beleave it or not the 9000 is a pretty good all weather tire and I live in Buffalo,NY to prove I know it is.

 

The bridgestone Re730 have a 300 tread wear probely the same in price but much better performance wise If your looking to sacrifise alittle performance for a long lasting performance tire then I would go the BFGOODRICH g-force KDWS basically an all season performance tire that wont kill the pocket I believe they have a 400 tread wear the only other one that I know of is a bit pricey is the Michelin Pilot A/S they too come witha 400 tread but they will cost you a **** load of money clsoe to 850 dollars for a set hope this helps Ohh yea bye the way when you purchass Z rated tires from costco they come with a road hazard warrenty included so everytime there is a nail in your tire you get a new one no questions asked the reason being they came up with a policy thatit is unsafe to patch or plug a Z rated tire HOpe this helps

 

Hmm I need to do some home work or does nay one have more info on the Bridgestone Re730's?

It looks like a better tire at first look/read then the Dunlop 9000.
Thank you (95CivicEX)

 

are 195/50r15 Bridgestone S-03 tires still on sale at tirerack.com? you may want to look into those...

 

Look at getting the Bridgestone Potenza S-02 Pole Position or Potenza S-03 Pole Position
Or the
Michelin - Pilot Sport
Both are extremly great tires. But they are very expensive.

 

although the S-03's are great tires.. they dont have the treadlife he is looking for.. i'd say go for the RE730s..
