i would not buy anything firestone bridgstone. you cant say best and then say 120$ the best will cost what it costs and i would say a micheline is the best tyre

Micheline! Is that a new name for Michelin. I was only asking what was the best tyre around $120.If i wanted to know the most expensive overall I already know that

Impossible to answer. There is no 'best' for all conditions/cars/driving styles etc. What is your car! What sort of mileage do you do! What is your driving style! What sort of roads!. you get the pix.

Don;t do much mileage. perhaps 8 thousand a year mostly around town.Just normal driving .

Well point this way, If you want a cheap crap rubbish overprice tyre then buy the Supercrap or if you want good quality tyre that going handle better and do alot more kms, then buy the GT Radial 128.

One of our vehicles came with 2 pairs of oddbod aisan tyres.Whilst the tyres are in good nick and are fine around town they feel realy odd on the open road.Its like the front is fighting the back and on a steady radius curve you need to correct the line several times.Its the tyres as I've swopped front to back etc and the feeling changes markedly.We just wearing them out and then will put some mainstream tyres on it.Also many years ago had a corrolla (import) with the skinng jap tyres.At anything over about 70 k it felt like it wanted to fall over.Swopped the tyres to some budget firestone things and totally different.
So what I'm saying is you cant predict what you are going to end up with just by price or brand.I'd agree with the others though something like a Supercat would probably be absolutely fine for you.

#1- Do a wheel alignment at the same time as fitting and balancing.

Firestone/Bridgestone make a great tire called Supercat, good alround tire

Its a very middle of the road tyre. Hard compound, lasts relatively well. No real grip if you decide need anything other then what normal driving requires.

Very much so, I have supercats on my Vp Commie work wagon and Bridgstone Taranzas on my Vp Calias play car
