Default Its that time....New Tires :(

Its that time, I need new tires badly. I basically have no tread left. I would like tires that are quiet because i lowered the car and i can defiantly hear the road.
What tires are the best?
Thank you

...how many miles did you get on the OEM's? I'm getting older I guess but I'd swear it seems like you just bought that thing.

My tires came from this category Tire Test Results : Are There New Standards for Standard Touring All-Season Tires? more options here Tire Test Results : Testing New Standard Touring All-Season Tires

I also had my eye on some Michelin Hydroedge but couldn't find them at the right price

Most epic tire I've ever owned. LOVED it, but I'll never spend that much on tires again!

Just checked out a local tire store (Big O) in OKlahoma for the Nitto Motivo. These little guys list for $119.00 each, before mounting, balancing, blueprinting, porting, polishing, and anything else they can find to add to the price, LOL. Specs look pretty good on the 215/50R/17. See below.

Would like some feedback on "road noise." I'm not wanting to duplicate that mess, again, that I now endure with my ContiPro's.

Do they even make any tires in our size with treadwear warranties that are decent?

Update:

Well I purchased the tires yesterday and I got the Goodyear Assurance Tire. It is originally $180 a tire but got them on sale for $140. Total came out to $800 with alignment and balancing. Warranty is 70K Miles.

I like these tires, they are very quiet and handle the road pretty well. Defiantly would recommend these tires.
