anyone have any recos for tires for my V50? I have to replace the pirellis on there now, but they are way overpriced/hyped.

Please include sizes, too, if you reply.

Thanks!

    As MilanoMike stated, we need more info. Don't know what you want or need. Summer, winter, all-season or high performance? Tire Rack is a great resource for a tire buyer. You can check sizes there too.

    I will say this. IMHO - The best all-around tire is still the Michelin MXV4's. I'm on my 3rd or 4th set I've had on various cars. Handle well but not great, ride well, fairly quiet and excellent in snow and ice for an all-season tire. Plus they wear like iron! Have them on my old 850 and with 20k they still look new...:)

    At the cheap end of the spectrum the Kumho Solus KR-21 is a decent tire. Had it on my 240. Won't last a lot of miles though.

    Don't have any recommendations as it's not clear what you are looking for; however, I do recommend you spend some time on the Tire Rack site as they have many different tire brands with write-ups, reviews, tech info, etc. Good luck. Mike
