Default What are some good replacement tires?

My factory rear tires are about to wear down and I wanna replace it with a different brand. Any recommendations? I prefer tires that are sold by Discount tires because I can get good discounts there. G-Force any good? So if I replace my tires with any other than those that came with factory I should get 225/55/16 front and 245/55/16 rear correct? Does this apply to all tire brands that aren't factory?

Lots of people have gone with the S-03, they claim they are better in the rain but don't stick as well and they are not less money in a dramatic way, might even be a bit more, depends on where you buy.

Some people have gone with the Kumho 712s. They are dramatically less money, and they do have less grip.

I have thought about this a lot because I need new rears, car now has about 12,000 miles and I do not see them passing NYS inspection in the spring.

For me, I'm going with new S-02s because I just can't believe how good they are, even in the rain.

Phantom is completely on target with those sizes!
