If you do a thread search on "tire recommendations" you'll find that opinions abound.

I spent $1200 on Michelin PS2's last time to own what most call "the best." Now I'm broke and I'll probably buy Hankook Ventus V12's at half the price installed which are said to be just as good.

Everyone will have their favorite brand though.

Now to oil recommendations:

Another very hotly debated topic, both for weights (0W40 or 5W40????) and brands. Most run Mobil 1 0W40 because it's factory fill, and change it once a year or every 7500 miles, whichever comes first.

I bought Royal Purple at nearly twice the price per quart due to an article I read on motor wear comparing brands.

With both tires and oil, the opinions will be o-plenty and you'll be dizzy by them all.

Search the forum and you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know about both.
