Default Tire recommendation

I havea 2005V50 T5 equipped with the original Michelin 205/50R17 93V tires. With only 17,000 miles on it, the front tires are nearly worn out. Perhaps the OEM tires were cheap.

I thinking about the Yokohama YK520's, or the S Drive.

Any comments/recommendations? I live in Virginia, USA in case that helps.

Thanks in advence!

Go with Continental. I have experienced tremendous results with Conti Contacts. These are an A temperature and A traction tyre. At the same time I would certainly have your alignment checked.

I would get the tires at Sears lol.....I got mine there, and they sell a program there its like 15$ a tire where it does....

1. Free Lifetime rotation of the tires when ever you want
2. Free Replacement of the tire within the first 25% of tread wear -> after that its prorated
3. Free Alignement & Balancing

I just got michelin pilot All Sesason myself ....
