I have Granada HP touring tires I believe. Never heard of them before I got my monte... but no complaints as they grip the road even when im TRYING to throw the rear end out. When they need replaced I intend to get good year eagle performance tires for obvious reasons.

I put Pirelli P4 on my Monte a couple of years ago. Excellent handling characteristics, smooth ride and an 85,000 mile tread warranty.

Summer Ultra High Performance Radial



The NT555 is a summer-oriented ultra high performance street tire designed with the performance driver in mind. The NT555 provides increased traction and handling capabilities while prolonging the life of the tire. The NT555 will get you off the line quickly, provide stability in the straights and confidence in the corners.

Got these last spring. I got 245/45R18 100W for my 18x8 summer wheels.
These had better price than the brand names for same performance ratings.

My winter tires are Dunlop WinterSport SP. A high performance snow tire, and the most expensive tires I've ever bought.
SP Winter Sport 4D Tires | Dunlop Tires
They've been great, but now worn out after 6 winter seasons. I need new snows next fall.

I have some type of Dunlop SP on the car.

They've been pretty decent, have had them on for maybe 2.5 years? but that's only like 6,000 miles

I have the Michelin Hydroedge on my Monte. I've put 70k on the tires so far and fully expect to get the rates 90k out of them before I have to replace. After having various different tires in my life, I am now pretty stuck on Michelin tires. You pay more up front, but get what you pay for. They grip well, handle well, excellent in heavy rain, super quiet, and LAST for many miles!

Michelin discontinued the Hydroedge tires and replaced with the Defender, also a 90k tire. Guess what the Monte will be getting when I have to buy tires next? Michelin Defender!

A-1 T rated all season sport. They may be an off brand but with the snows that we have had I am Very pleased with them. $86 a piece for 245/45-18. Road noise is minimal, traction in rain and snow is Very good. And the look good on my Monte!

I still have my original Goodyear RS-As on my 03. When I need to replace them I'm going to with the same tires. I had Goodyear GTs on my 05SS and those totally sucked. Replaced them with Falkens (don't remember the model number).

I have these on my focus St and they hook and handle decent but tread life sucks.... for me anyways.... hope you like them!

Turbo monte is sitting on 255/45/17 nitto 555 tires and I absolutely love them! These are my street tires.
