What brand of tires is everyone running out there? I recently got a set of Sumitomos, and so far so good. Smoother and quieter than the Nexens I had before, and they balanced really well, too.

 

Falken something something.
I had to get tires that day. Blew one 10 mins before leaving on a 1000 mi trip.
Beggars can't be choosers. only one shop around had my size, and they were falkens or some brand i have never heard of.
I had Pirelli's before, only bad thing about those tires is that they pretty much handled like slicks in rain. Dry performance was outstanding.
The falkens are a good tire, more balanced between dry/wet performance.

 

Khumo ASX's now, may be moving to some Avon's with the new wheels

 

i have had sumitomo htr Z3's on my 225 quattro and I loved them. right now they do have the BFG g-force super sport. 225/40/18's

 

Thanks for the affirmation on the Sumitomos. Paid $80 each them. Pretty good deal.

 

You did well. I paid that for the Kumho ASX from tire Rack and I was not under the same duress you were
