Help! I am tire nowhere land. I need a pair of rear tires for my 95. After talking to dealers and reading test reports I am as confused as ever.
I do not drive the car very hard, and good ride and quiet are important. Also wet traction and decent wear.
But when I get down to choice confusion abounds.
The Dunlop 9000's got very good ratings from Automobile Mag, but they do not make the 9000 for the front. cost about $250 each.
The Bridgestone's RE71's got good ratings, but also do not make the same tire for the front. These tires cost about $108 each.
Then there is the Pirelli P7000 which the dealer recommends and there are front tires to match but the ratings as to ride and noise are poor. These cost about $245 each.
Next is the Yokohama AVS I which is avialable only for the rears and is supposed to be a good tire. Cost $150 each.
Any ideas out there?
