search the forum for tire brands and you will see a lot of recommendations. All four - yes. I went with Continental Extreme Contact. Love em. Not run flat.

Burn the back tires up and get a set of something good. The old tires on the back might feel a little unstable when mismatched with better front 1's.

My recommendation, a set of Hankook Ventus V12s. Very good tire and the price is very reasonable.
