also call tires23 for a price, probably cheaper and stick with the 235 size Are you looking for a summer tire or all season? Check tirerack.com read the reviews and take your pick. I had the V12 EVOs and they where pretty good for the price. Had Continental DW and they where really good (different than the DWS though) Also had these on the wifes car and where excellent http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?...romCompare1=yes

Not sure why he quoted that tire size. I just gave him car make model year so he probably just did a quick google and found that size
Not sure if you consider a mazda 6 gt sporty but that's what came on the car.
Summer or all season. Doesn't matter since I have dedicated winters but would like to get the best bang for the buck without going bankrupt.
With the info I described in the first post, do you guys think I need new rubber or can I get away with it for another season? If not, I think I'm leaning towards the General AS-03's or the Hancook Ventura v2 concept 2.

nexen - dont bother hankooks - decent tire for the money, they've come a long way, impressed. bridgestone - always a fav but like mentioned above some of their 'mid-tier' tires have not been as good lately, still great tires tho (usually they're higher end summer stuff tho) general - not bad again for the money but not a first choice (i forget who makes these behind the scenes?) kumho - see hankook, same deal falken, not bad tires...found them to be not so great in wet yoko - always good middle of the road tire, cant go wrong michelin ps as3 - very nice tire, pricey but you get what you pay for, excellent in wet conti - also great tire but even more money ugh. pirelli - dont even bother
overall for the coin if you can swing the contis go for it, but honestly you can just get the michelins and you'll be pleased second choice imo woul dbe the bridgestone then yoko then korean makes.
as for thinner tire, he prob didn't have your exact size maybe? but if anything you wanna look at overall diameter when choosing, ensure it's close to your OEM size.

General makes pretty good tires now. Run these on my wife's Outback http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?...=2.5i%20Premium
And they are really good, espeically in the wet and snow
Also ran their winter tires and they are superb. Better than Michleins and Bridgestone

Forgot to mention that the quote includes install, balance, new stems, etc.
What's the average price for that service so I can try and compare apples to apples with just tires from different stores.
Most should throw it in but if not avg 20-25 a wheel.

You guys are making it quite obvious you like the 760s
How's the tread life on it? From reading some reviews it seems like it doesn't last more than 2 seasons.
Does the performance decline greatly when the outside temp is below 5°c since I change my tires late in the fall.

Yes, any summer tire is going to be crap around 5c temps. If you intend to drive the car that way, go for an all season.
760s are tires with very nice characteristics for performance driving. It's like a more responsive PSS (but less grippy). As for tread life, I don't know. I change tires annually because track XD All tires last me 6 months

Thanks guys. I do like the specs/reviews/recommendations for the 760 but I can't be changing tires all the time.
As a suggested alternative an a/s might be better for my style.
Now Jeff mentioned the PS. Would this be it? http://youtu.be/UzHgvyNao5w
If so, and I'm not sure how much weight I'd put in to the comments in the vid but it seems like a good performer.

You'll be good with either - picking the cheaper one between the 2 will probably get you the same experience but save you some money in your pocket.
If the guys here say the 760 is the one I would trust it.

Rate my tire choice... it's narrowed down to 4. (List compiled based on Screamin's brand feedback above, and TireRack survey results, which are all similar to the BFGs)
185/65/R15... I have separate Michelin Xi3 winters...
1) BFG Advantage T/A @ $115/tire, $590 tax+install - $50 MIR 2) Yoko Avid Ascend 86T @ $112.5/tire, $580 tax+install - $50 MIR? 3) Falken ZE950 AS 88H @ $87.5/tire, $460 tax+install, no MIR 4) Kumho Solus KR21 @ ??/tire. - $32 MIR for the set. ** Guessing the cheapest of all 4. (TireRack is $60/tire, compared to BFG's $72 Yoko $80)
Currently rocking the BFGs... They seem fine They slip from a start if it's wet outside, but pretty much all 4 tires listed have decent treadlife, and have similar survey results from TireRack.com ...
Price is a factor as the EL's nearing end of life...
Leaning towards the Yokos or Kumhos ... BFG's I've already tried...

If you email Allen @ Simply Tire his prices are usually cheaper than what's advertised on his site.
I'm still waiting for the Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3 tires as it seems they're sold out everywhere Could go with the Conti Extreme DWS but that's a little too much $$.
