[s-cars] Tire Recommendations

[Jeff Sevel]

Joel:

I'm running Bridgestone RE730's and have about 10k on them. Tires came w/
the car when I bought them. So far, the treadware has been pretty fair. I
had a sidewall blowout last year which was fortunately covered by the
warranty. $167.00 a pop! Yikes. I don't have much experience w/ other tires
on this car, but the RE730's are great. Z rated so the hug the corners well
and great in the wet Seattle streets. Have to admit they're a bit loud, but
I guess what you would expect for summer tires. I kept them on this winter
and did several drives up Steven's pass...slipped a few times but still
managed 60mph...cake.

To be safe (and appease my wife), I'll be picking up either some Blizzak
LM22s or Continental ExtremeContacts for the winter time.
