Tire Question

catsbox · 11-06-2008, 08:51 PM

I need new tires and have seen mention here of high ratings on the Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus or S8, or the Goodyear Assurance Triple Tred. I have searched online and can't find anyone on the Eastside of Seattle that sells either one in the size recommended by Toyota 185/64R-15.

The other issue I have is this. I need something that will handle well for this winter, but I am not sure I want the top of the line as I am planning on trading in my 2005 Prius for a 2010 next year.

What would you recommend for a good all season tire that won't break the bank, and that is sold around here?

Gee, thanks for the help. I ended up ordering the Goodyear ComfortTreds. They had to be ordered from, of all places, California. You would think WA state tire stores would keep these in stock!
