Thumbs up Need Tires after 22k

OE Bridgestoone RE050 have been great for me in So Cal. 22000 and still going. This is my second set and NO problems or gripes. Well one... price is a little high and NO rebates this year WTH?
$280 price diff between Bridgestone and BF goodrich

A tire I'm lookin at...
BF goodrich g-Force

you and i both missed out on a $100 rebate for bridgestone tires, ended june 30

but i just placed an order for bridgestone re-01r, i have heard nothing but great things about these tires.

but for better treadwear bridgestone re050 pole position seems like a better choice.

BFG kdw 2's are the best tires I have ever purchased. They handle like crazy in the sun and rain. They run a bit high but are worth every penny. Just check out the tirerack ratings of customers who have purchased them.


*I have never heard any tire noise, but that might be because of my exhaust

I dont burn out from a stop or smaoke and burn around corners. I (think) I go to the point of loosing traction.

The tire treadwear go from 140 to 300 or 340.

maybe I'll keep my eye open for a local used set, I keep seeing wheels and tire 800-900 near new, and just sell off the wheel.

PMed a couple sellers

RE-01 would be awesome...if they came in AP2 OEM sizing.

I'll probably be running Azenis 615's forever. Cheap, great grip, and look cool.
