Need new Rear Tires

[ezbmr]

My oil place showed me that there is a bit of steel belt coming from the left side of my right rear tire. They are Pirelli P7s which I haven't loved, but were okay. I don't plan on keeping the car more than another year. I have Michelin AS3 up front. My regular tire place is closed for the holidays. I plan on calling them on Monday. This one place that is open has Barum bravuris 3 tires or Kuhmo ASX, for a pretty good price. I am thinking of waiting and seeing what my regular place has on Monday.


BTW they are 245/40/18

Any thoughts on the Barum Bravuris 3 or ASX?

Thanks

Get the same as you have on front. Don't mix tires. Plus I've never heard of a Barum so they can't be good.

I agree, you should match what you have on the other side. If I can help let me know.

I had 2 rear tires @148,512 miles December 2015 -- Barum Barvuris 3 255/35/18
Liked them so I also had 2 front @156,075 miles June 2016 with the total cost of $183.10 (yes, for both, $71.00 each + etc.) -- Barum Barvuris 3 225 40 R 18
My 2003 ZHP is now at 162,886 miles.
Today I had a flat tire (rear) due to nail on the sidewall.
I will replace with the same brand Barum Barvuris 3.
I have driving from San Diego - Houston- San Diego twic. One in December 2015 with cold and wet road (18 hours constantly wet at temperature of 34F) and another in August 2016 with hot and dry (18 hours with temperature ranging 98 - 115F).
Quite pleased with the ride & price!
