My dad recommends these brands: Yokohama BF Goodrich Toyo He says stay away from: Firestone Bridgestone He also says to have the tires high-speed balanced when you buy them. Apparently, I had the tires done at Big-O Tires in Castro Valley. Very friendly guys, good price, but a bit of a wait. It's on Castro Valley Blvd. northbound just before you reach the 238/580 entrance.
