    Question Commuting Tires Choice Question. I need new tires.

    I have a 2005 EP3, and I just hit 50k miles on the car. I just did my final rotation on the tires today, and it still has the stock 205/55/16 Michelin Pilot tires, and they are worn down pretty good, and there is weather cracking in the remaining grooves. I am looking at the following:

    BF Goodrich G-Sport All Season
    BF Goodrich G-Force Sport
    Goodyear F1 All Season

    I want to make sure that I get a tire that will last at least another 50k miles, b/c all I do is commuting 140 miles per day, plus the occasional canyon carving on the weekends. Are either of the above mentioned models a good choice for grip, reduced road noise, and high mileage?

    I also noticed that the left front tire is wearing a lot more on the inside of the tire, so I guess a full front end alignment is in order when i get my new tires. What causes the inside portion of only the left front tire to wear like that, bad toe-in possibly?

    if you're really going for longevity, the new mich pilot mxv4 come with a 60k warranty i believe.. i currently have the bfgoodrich g-force sports but in 215/45-17 and i love them. my coworker got 40k of his last set with tracking his car a couple times.. or go for the Yokohama s-drives, i've personally never had them but i haven't heard a bad thing about them..

    Sounds good.

    I also noticed the Goodyear GT & GT-r's. They seem to be good tires as well.

    gforce sport.

    i have them. i drive 100 miles/day. i've put more than 30k on them and have a good amount of tread left.

    while i dont track the ep, the tires do well in the hills.

    ps: i got mine at costco. if you have a costco membership, use the $60 off coupon! http://tires.costco.com/TireInformat...l?pn=SeptPromo
