Tires, tyres, cauchos

Guest 20 June 2006 21:57:02
 I have used Michelins for a number of years..
Never really had a beef with them. I normally got great treadlife, good
handling,
and a quiet ride.

Just noticed my wife's car has a sidewall cut, and the tread is getting thin
on
her Mich's after about 40,000 miles... Time to re-shoe...

After reading a lot of reviews on Tire Rack, I see that - for every tire -
some love
them, some hate them, some find them quiet, and some find them unbearably
noisy...

I have not considered American made tires in years, after having bad
experiences
with lousy belt stability, noise, treadwear, etc etc...

But, I am not totally closed minded either.

I want a tire that will give me 50-70,000 mile treadwear, is very quiet, and
handles well
in dry or in rainy conditions. (We dont have ice here, except in our
mojitos)


Appreciate your comments.

Well, at least you don't get what you don't pay for.. Michelins have been
pretty good
for me, so far.

When you risk your life on your tires, a few bucks is pretty cheap.

I know that Tire Rack references Hankook. I had overlooked this company
as I was not familiar with them. Will have to take a closer look. Thanks
for your
comments.

My bad... Discount Tire has them, but not for my car. My car uses a
205/70/15.

 you possibly can't beat the oem tire for everyday service, that is if
you keep them

aired-up to specs, and rotated on a 6000 mile basis.

check discount tire stores, and pep boys for tire deals.

I am not sure what you mean by this...OEM tires are what came on the car, in
my jargon.
Some of them are absolute crap, some good.

I had to make a quick choice, looked at what the local tire dealers,
WalMart, etc had to offer.

Price was not the ultimate issue...I researched a lot of them at Tire Rack,
Discount Tire, etc.

One of the local dealers (in whom I have some personal confidence),
suggested a particular
model of Cooper which he has had good luck with and little comeback. 80,000
tread life
predictions. Got them for about $80 each, and they are very very quiet and
smooth. We'll see
how they age.

Thanks for all comments.
