New owner needs help with Tires
I am the proud new owner of 2000. It seems that the original owner changed the wheels and tires. The current tires are 265/40/17(F) and 295/35/19 (R) non run flat.
They only have about 21,00 miles on them. What should I expect for miles before I need to change them.
What would you recommend to replace them with. I will be driving the all the time. So yes for wet weather I will most likely park it when it snows.
Anyones help would be appreciated.

you want the same tires front and rear. I suggest you go to www.tirerack.com and find what your choices are in that size.
Then post the available tires and ask for comments.
I could recommend so tires but don't know what choices you have given your current size configuration

I just put Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s on my '99 coupe. I drive my car almost every day and I have to say I really like them. I can't speak for wear because I only have about 1000 miles on them but I did get caught in a nasty rain storm about a week ago and I did about 70 on the highway with almost no hydroplaning. I could hear myself hit the puddles but the car never felt like it lost significant contact with the road. I found mine at Discount Tire for $205 front and $305 rear. I normally dont like Discount Tire but I had run into the guys at this particular one and trusted them to do the job right.
Hope this helps
