tires.com,,,, free shipping

I too only use one tire,,, all season

Look under ultimate high performance all season tires.

I had the conti extreme contacts,,, very nice

Now I have Falkens on,,,,,,,,, dont really care for these,, soft sidewall and ALOT of bounce when going over bumps. Feels like im driving my old jeep wrangler its sooooo bouncey.

I wish I had got the Contis again.........maybe next time.

The Falkens were like $94,,,,,,, Contis were like $112

Please don't just say "Falkens," because they have some really nice, high performance tires. Be sure to specify the actual style that you didn't like.

Currently I am running Pirelli P6 FourSeason M+S on the stock rim, stock size.

I read a bunch of reviews..... after I bought them. There were alot of complaints about bubbles forming, and the tires basically sucking for the price range. However there were some excellent reviews aswell.

Ive put about 5k miles on them so far. Ive driven everything from brand new pavement to ice packed gravel roads and they have performed above and beyond my expectations. They have been seriously abused and have held up great! They are a bit loud in dry conditions but not too much, they grip well and dont seem to be wearing too fast.

The Contiextreme Contacts, Avon 550 A/S, Toyo Proxes 4, all get great reviews and will fit your needs. Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S are nice as well but more expensive and not really better than the others I've mentioned. I just ordered the Proxes 4s and they will be going on tomorrow so no review yet, but I've used the Pirelli's and the Contis and they're excellent all around tires.

Since I'm feeling generous here's a link that should help you decide what tire is best for you.
