I typically pick one that is a good balance between price and performance. So often times I end up with a Continental tire. This time the top choice seems to be Continental dws06. It's $132 a piece on discount tire direct. $528 a set. With some promotion, I think it's $428 after tax and shipping, but before installation.

What do you think about this choice and I am open to other suggestions. Thanks!

I got a little over 40k miles til I hit the wear bars and replaced.

Continental would be a good choice. Comfy, last a while, decent grip. Another option would be someone selling their OEM tires after upgrading. Nothing really wrong with the Primacies.

There are a few. Check the FRS general forum.
