I had the same question and just checked mine. From the dealership I had appx 42 PSI front and 44 PSI rear (cold). As this didn't match the gas door recommendations. I called the dealer's (Chapman, Scottsdale AZ) service department. The front desk finally transferred me to the tire shop (note Chapman also sells BMW and Dodge) the helpful technician listened to my specifications and question and responded that he recommends 38 PSI front and rear in Phoenix. For all vehicles with similar low profile tires.He was very specific about location (asked me if I lived here in town). I'm guessing that's due to our good old dry heat here. Anyhow that's what I set mine to. regards, Ken

Pros: recommends 38 PSI front/rear

Cons: 42/44 PSI from dealership

I had Bridgestone Potenza RE930's on my Audi Coupe GT (185-60-14). They were great. They cruised quietly and worked great in dry cornering. Also, at least the first winter I was driving circles around 4 wheel drive vehicles in snow. SUPER.

Pros: cruised quietly, great cornering

Vehicle: Audi

Noise:

The 378's are great, very quiet and great in rain/snow (were my snows until I changed cars). The RE930's are really nice - quiet, but not as quiet as the 378's, perhaps a bit more responsive - but are a little more worn.

Pros: very quiet, great in rain/snow

Cons: a little more worn

I have Yokahama AVS dB's on my Q45. They are quite possibly the best tire I've owned on any car.

Pros: best tire I've owned

Vehicle: Infiniti Q45

Ride comfort:

In the 185 size I'm currently running Bridgestone Potenza RE92's - a little bit more money, but great grip (especially in the rain) and good tread life so far.

Pros: great grip, good tread

Cons: a little bit more money

I second the D60/A2 vote...Dunlop just updated the design..the new name is sport A2 or something like that...haven't tried those new treads yet. These are all season though...is that what you want?

Pros: all season

Ride comfort:

I have had both, and can honestly say that I will not buy the Kumho's again. There is nothing wrong with them, but they are definately not what I would classifiy as a "performance" tire. They have a very nice, and have a quiet and comfortable ride. They just don't stick like a good performance tire should .

Pros: quiet and comfortable ride

Cons: not a performance tire

I swear by myselfthat those tires SUCK!!! Consider that they came stock on my gsr wen it was stock and torqueless and well come rain, come slipping on a normal turn with a car that didn't produce any torque below 5k rpms as opposed to a gti below 2k rpm..

Cons: tires SUCK, slipping on turn
