Just went to Bell Tires to get an Estimate on a set of Tires, evryone has their owen Ideas as to what tires are best, this is what I settled on, BF GOODRICH SUPER SPORT A/S, 50,000 mile non run flats. 766.84 out the door with alignment, what do we all think about the price and most of all the tires.

No experience with those particular tires. I've had Michelin Pilot Sport IIs, Goodyear Supercars and now Hankook Ventus V12s. I've liked each one. Hopefully someone that has actually had a set of the BFGs on their car can give you some feedback.

Just got back from Belle Tire in Auburn Hills with a new set of Pilot Sport A/S ZP's. Bought the car in Dec. with mismatched tires (Potenza fronts, Eagle F1 rears), and even in today's SNOW , I can tell I'm going to like these a whole lot more. Quieter, smoother ride, no more bump steer. A bit more than the BFG's, though.

If you're going to Belle Tire, I got a recommendation for the one in AH from our local CF coordinator. Too soon to tell, but I think they took good care of me.

In the 3 last 10 years with 5 cars at a time, I have never been able to do a deal with Belle Tire...
Too expensive.... Tire Rack beats them and Discount tire always beats them on the first offer...and a local tire chain Value Tire always beats Discount Tire.
Can't comment on the tires but I don't buy at Belle Tire....

I always go to tire rack for Goodyear Eagle F1's and install them myself.

Same that's what the car had when I bought it, and that's what I've used ever since.
