To continue with my barrage of questions.... I've pretty much settled on 18x8 moda R6 wheels for my '01 s60 and now am trying to match up the tires.... Over on tirerack these seem to be getting pretty good reviews and they aren't too expensive. I'm puzzled with people saying they are very hard to balance (????) but other than that most seem to be satisfied. Has anyone had any experience with these or any other suggestions within a similar price range ($136/each)? I don't intend to drive these in the winter, as Ill keep the michelins that are currently on there for winter driving.

Thanks!

Just a suggestion, but the tires your talking about are ultra high performance all-season. If u already have a set of winter tires, why not get a set of summer tires if u can find them in the same price range?

I think Continentals are typically a softer tire, which explains the flat spots for the first couple miles of driving in the reviews I saw.

Hope that helps....

I only use Michelins on all my vehicles. None of mine are speed rated. However, my dad has a BMW 540i and he runs the H rated tires on his and has very good results. I have a tire dealer who treats me well so I don't even shop around for tires anymore. I just go to his shop and pick out the Michelins that I want.
