These are a good tire, are insanely cheap after the rebate, and the shipping is free! They are a summer tire with 300 treadwear.


There are cheaper A/S tires on tirerack, if you want to go that direction.

Thank you, yes I am looking for something like these. Need to find a place that sells them in Canada though. I do have a set of blizzaks for the winter. I drive ~20-25k miles a year so that's why I wanted LRR. I also enjoy hanging the tail out occasionally.

Having trouble locating a set in my area for cheap. Going by the classifieds section on this forum, there's like 3-4 WTB Stock tire threads.

Do you need a tire that is capable of functioning safely in winter precipitation and/or dry, colder weather? (asking cuz of your location - and how this may or may not be your 'summer car')

Rain and hydro planning is my only concern in terms of safety. I rate that highly. When it gets cold I swap on a set of winters.

I agree with Leonardo that if you are looking for value, the HTR Z3 is worth consideration. I've not driven it in wet and I've only driven it on a front wheel drive car, but it does have a solid reputation for all-around performance including wet traction. Most ratings suggest it should provide reasonable fuel economy for a tire in its class.

In that same price range, there is also the FireHawk Indy 500, which people on this forum (and others) absolutely love. Most owners of this tire seem to feel that hydroplaning resistance is simply exceptional. However, I doubt fuel economy was given much consideration compared to other markers of performance.

(Both of these two tires should be under $100 USD a pop.)
(It's worth noting that I replaced the OEM Primacy tires with the A/S 3+ - I expected to see a decrease in fuel economy from what I have read, plus given the A/S 3+ is like 2 pounds heavier a tire, but since doing this I observed the opposite - I have no explanations other than either I've gotten better at driving efficiently or the car's alignment was so far off when brand new that this was affecting mileage negatively.)
