Oh kayyyy....was hoping to find some info on the best reasonably priced tires for my 09. Is there a forum here that actually discusses the topic?

 

OK then dlmbrt, I've moved your initial post/question into its own thread, and cleaned it up a bit.

I see from your profile, that you drive a 2009 LS.

So you're looking at 215/55/16 tires if you intend to keep the stock size and aspect ratio.

A quick Google type search while sitting here in my Doctor's waiting room turned up tires in that size starting at $48 each for Chinese made tires(wouldn't drive around the block on 'em myself), to some pretty decent Touring tires in the $85-90 range.

Might I suggest checking out our friends and Supporting Vendors at the Tire Rack, you'll see a tab for them at the top of the page.

My apologies for your post generating some responses not in keeping with our site's usually friendly atmosphere, but as a suggestion, in your initial post...include as much detail as possible...even if it seems unnecessary at the time.

 

Michelin Defender. May not be all that cheap, but for 90,000miles, what do you expect?

Name brand, great value, worth the cheddar!

 

I got 4 sumitomo tires 90,000 mile guarantee for $330 shipped from tire rack.
If you just want enough rubber on it to sell problems to the next owner you can get as low as $200.
I look a miles per dollar myself.

 

About 18 months ago I bought a set of Dunlops from Tire Rack. I think they are the "Signature" line. Very good tires and reasonably priced. Excellent in snow, decent handling capability.

 

I've run BFG T/A's for a few years now great mileage for $130.00 per tire. That's what I paid in Canada check them out at Tire Rack

 

i will have to check those out

 

I have a set of Road Hugger GT tires from discount tire store. I think I paid around $550 out the door for them. So far they seem to be holding up well and have great grip in the rain.

 

To OP, telling whether you want a set of all season or summer tires will allow others to provide better suggestions.

 

Since the OP hasn't been back since he started this thread,,,,,,well,,,,must not have been important to him.
