Scion just bought me 4 new Michelin's! - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Maybe I am one of the few that like the Primacy's. Ultra sticky tires have their own issues in normal driving, as well as excessive wear. I think the Primacy's have excellent overall balance. I can't speak for the track though.

Out of curiosity, what kind of BFGoodrich tires are you guys getting? Mine came with all-seasons, but they were Bridgestone Turanzas EL400-2's.

GT86drifter · 11-19-2012, 12:57 PM

same Turanza

Nevermore · 11-19-2012, 03:36 PM

My Turanza tires came as a factory option when I built my car to order it. Though I used a Toyota employee benefit to get it.

Bristecom · 11-20-2012, 03:58 AM

Yeah, I'm curious as to what BFG's you got. So far we've only heard Michelin summers and Bridgestone all seasons reported. I wonder if they'll go back to the Michelins come summer time...

JoeBoxer · 11-20-2012, 04:21 AM

EL400's come stock on Sentra's lol, i didn't keep my stock tires long but the michelins have to be better.

JackSmiley · 11-20-2012, 11:57 PM

They paid for new tires just over $800 last week.
I had about 7500 miles on it

BFG's or Bridgestones?

Never heard of BFG's on an FRS

The Michelin's come stock on a Prius. This site goes up and down, first the Prius tires are junk and are the death of the car and now he returns his All-Season's for them? I must be missing something.
