Alternative To Bridgestone 960as?


early_november

Recommended Posts

I have one too many plugs in one of the rear tires so it is time for 4 new ones.

Currently running Uniroyal TigerPaws which I don't like, have used Bridgestone 960AS in the past and love them but they are $81 per tire compared to $71/73 earlier this fall so I'm looking for other alternatives.

Any recs? for all-seasons.

Thank you.

I think stock size might be 195/55 R15, FWIW. Good that you know to replace all 4 at once, your AWD will hate you if you don't.

I run Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus on my 15's and they're amazing, 40K treadlife and quiet as can be. I paid 100/tire, but then again tires are not somewhere I'm going to skimp. For the extra 80 bucks, it's worth it to me to have better tires.

i got 4 new kumho excsta ast or something like that?

man they sucked

horrible tread set up, i couldn't imagine that nitto's work any better

pretty much the same tread layout

to my door and mounted & balanced on my car was $245

but you get what you pay for

not bad if your strapped for cash and runnin on baldies

Yokohama AS 430's(40+k on the R ) & Avid trz's(@15k on the old benz) are treating me very well so far, both sets were @ 100 bucks a tire, give or take a few bucks. I read the reviews on tire rack & tires.com, I tend to look for similar drivers with similar vehicles, minivans & crossovers I tend to skip those. For snows, if you can find them, Yoke's Ice Guard tire has been the best i've driven so far.
