My dad needs new tires for his 02 bonnie SSEI.

Hes currently looking at michelin pilot sports at 185 a peice.

Needs all seasons since this is a DD year round.

Are those good tires for it?

The stockers a bit hard and spin easy.

Also, are there any reccomended tire shops in the Rochester area, so that his nice chrome wheels dont get fucked by dunn or something.

185 dollar a piece tires on a bonneville? No offense, but save the money.

Just look on tirerack or discount tire or something.

+1 on the trippletreads it is the best tire goodyear makes and I gaurantee you will love it. I ran a set on my SHO and loved them. My mom has them on her taurus, a TON of taurus car club and SHO forum users runs them and I have never herd a complaint.

No shit, you could get a set of Ziex 512s ($67) **and** Winterforces ($74) for $141 per corner.

With the $176 saved ($44 x 4) you could re-mount and balance them for two seasons. Not to mention that they would see half the use as an “all-season” so theoritically that is an additional $370 value right there.

Ignorance must be bliss…

The wheels are clear powdercoated to protect them and are Wheel waxed to protect them and gets washed weekly.

A couple of his coworkers have used the Assurance tri-tred and have liked them, so thats a go, Looks like im going to dunn in henrietta also.
