Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General SVT TIRES

I picked up a nail in one of the G Forces on my 00SVT. It was repaired but I was told about half the tread was worn on the tires at 11,000 miles. I was also quoted about $150 a tire to replace the tires. I don't think I've ever squeeled these tires although I do like how the SVT corners in the twisties. The thought of spending $600 every 22,000 miles for tires strikes me as a bit high. Any of you found any alternative tires that give similar performance at a lower cost?

there are lots of tires that work wonderfully with the SVT- the 205 55 R16 or 215 50 R16series tires are some of the most plentiful on the market- I like bridgstones- potenzas usually any of the UHPAS tires that Tire Rack lists- why dont you try them- tirerack
