I had Bridgestone S03s on my S4 till very recently and was looking at about $800+ inclusive of installation, shipping and taxes.

Instead I chose to get a set of Kumho SPT tires - pretty darn good for the money - came to about $420 installed. Its Z rated, has been quiet riding so far and decent in the recent torrential rains that we have been experiencing and has pretty decent reviews overall.

$200 per tire for a 235 section tire is too much IMO. i wouldnt mind to paying that for 295 section tire. And besides if it is not going to last more than 10K miles then what's the point in throwing away hard earned money. Buy the best $100 tire and throw it away in 3 years or 10K miles. Seems like a better solution to me.

Are you rotating your tires pretty frequently?
