My SPWB just turned 20,000 miles and the stock tires are toast. Dodge has a buy 3 get 1 free tire promotion going on until the end of November.

I got prices on three tires. All 3 come with a 2 year road hazard warranty/

1. Falken Azenis FK460 A/S with 50K tread life warranty. $1076
2. Goodyear Eagle Sport All Season sound comfort. No warranty. $1371
3. Michelin Power Sport 4S Summer. 30k Tread life warranty. $1519.

Any suggestions? Anyone run any of these?

I'm leaning towards the Falkens. I like the 50K warranty.

Probably gonna stay away from the Michelins, (unless you guys highly recommend them), as they're summer tires and I drive my car in the winter months until the first snow/salt event, then she hibernates util spring.

Thanks in advance

Bob

Tires best over all for Daily Drivers:
BFGoodrich g-Force Comp 2 A/S+
Continentals DWS06 plus
Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+ very similar to the characters in grip as the DWS06
Michelin Pilot Sport 4s A/S
Hercules Raptis R-T5
Cooper RS3-G1 ultra high performance all-season tires
Good Year Eagle RS-A's how ever while they wear well and handle decent they are very very stiff hard riding.

If your on a Tight Budget then:
Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+
Falken
Ziex ZE950 A/S
Falken Pro G5 Sport A/S
Atturo AZ850

Top Choice and Reviewed Tires:

Continentals DWS06 plus
Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+ very similar to the characters in grip as the DWS06
BFGoodrich g-Force Comp 2 A/S+
Michelin Pilot Sport 4s A/S
Hercules Raptis R-T5
Cooper RS3-G1 ultra high performance all-season tires

The Down Side to Summer Tires is they are softer compound and wear out generally faster:
Summer only Top Rated are the following not necessarily in this order.

Mickey Thompson Street Comp Tire
Falken Azenis FK510 Summer Ultra High Performance Tire
Michelin Pilot Sport 4s

Check out the General G-Max RS, I put them on earlier this summer and they look and perform great. Plus, they're less expensive than most of the more commonly recommended brands on the forum. In case you didn't know, General is now owned by Continental Tire. I had mine dealer installed and they beat Tire Rack and Discount Tire prices installed!!!!

I also got them during a buy 3, get 1 free event.

Have had the BFGs almost exclusively for years on my RT. We put those Falkens on our daughters mini cooper and they melted in one year here in Texas. Falken was nice to give us a huge credit via Discount Tire, but if I had to start new, I wouldn't choose them.

BFGoodrich g-Force Comp 2 A/S+
