Default Tire recommendations

I have a 2002 9-5 Aero, I need to replace the tires and I’m looking for some recommendations. I live in the Bay Area (California) and the weather is pretty constant. It doesn’t get too cold or too hot, no snow and minimal rain. Thanks.

Default RE: Tire recommendations

What kind of tire are you looking for? How long do you expect it to last, how is your noise tolerance, how much are you willing to pay?

All good questions.

The vehicle currently has Pirelli P6000 (225 45 17.) I've put 20,000 miles on them since I purchased the vehicle used. They have worn down unevenly due to a slight alignment issue. Otherwise they'd have plenty of life in them. I've been pleased with their performance. I'd like to keep the cost around 150.00 USD per tire. I'm looking for a good balance between performance, mileage and noise in that price range.

Thanks!

I would say BFGoodrich g-Force TA KDW-2 should be perfect. around 130 per tire and are quite nice performance tires
