the Bridgestone Potenzas seem to be wearing fast at 16000 miles. I just bought the car and live in a nothern climate (near Washington DC). We had a death in the family due to a car accident and bald tires, so I'm really ready to get the tires fixed on this car.
So I want a long wearing, quiet, and good handling All Season (M+S) rated Tire.
If I decide to stay run flat, can someone recommend the best choice? I'm thinking P Zero Neros...
And if I decide that I don't need RFT, then I'm thinking ContiExtremeContacts...
Not sold on either obviously.
What about the pressure and flat tire sensors? Can anyone mount these tires, or do i need to go to the dealer?
And lastly, what about Tire Rack and other mail order sites? Once I receive the tires, who do you recommend I see to get them mounted. Someone told me WalMart does it...is that true? Are they the best choice? I'm sure some of the purists here are howling, but I'm serious. It's just a car...really.
Appreciate your feedback.
