For any of you who are looking for a killer deal for stock size tires, may I recommend Kumho ESCTA HP4/716.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...1=yes

I came upon these while doing research on tirerack.com. Saw a lot of positive reviews but was a bit hesitant because of their ultra cheap price ($41.00!!!!). But I must say that they are the BEST tires I've had on the Q. Very quiet and smooth. We'll see how many miles we get (only seem to get at most 20K out of a set).

Also I had a 4 wheel alignment done after having the tires installed and now it feels like a whole new car! It's as if I've put in new shocks! Turn in is much more quick and precise. Great bang for the buck.

Be aware they are only H rated! 35 lbs. maximum load indicates a stiff sidewall. Other sizes require higher pressures.

Good point Brian, but I think H rated is still pretty decent.

I remember back when the only tire we as a group recommended, was the Michelin Pilot XGTH (or some such), H rated.

I is probably the lowest rating I would run, but it also helps u to change tires often since its so much less money.
