I just had Michelin Primacy MXV4 installed all 'round. At the same inflation (44 PSI) they are quieter, smoother riding, and improved the handling substantially. They're still breaking in but it looks like a minimal hit (1-2 MPG) to the 58-60 MPG I've been getting. | |

Friends: 22 | Re: What tires do you guys run? Goodyear TripleTreds in the 195/60R15 size. They're a great all season tire and, IMO, the best one for the money. |

Like Boo says......I'm ready at 23K to get rid of my Integrities as they really howl and have done alot of research and from what I read the TT's seem to be the best tradeoff so thats where I'm going. 205's too. I get all my tires from TRack and they got a special on TT's them right now. $40 rebate. I get them shipped right to a participating tire dealer: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...r=15&x=12&y=11 Last edited by edthefox5; 08-21-2009 at 01:39 AM. | |

Friends: 0 | Re: What tires do you guys run? I just replaced my Integrity tires today with the Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max. Much quieter on the highway. We'll see how mileage is. I was really disappointed in how long they lasted - 30K miles. BTW, I normally run 42/40 and the outsides of the tread had far more wear, which tells me they were still underinflated. |
