<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(pejohn @ Dec 13 2006, 10:46 PM) [snapback]362027[/snapback]</div> Everyone seems to have their own favorites, I went with Goodyear Triple Treds and am pleased. Try the PC search function, there have been plenty of posts on the subject. Good luck...Dan.
Yeah, there are a lot of favourites here on PC. The most commonly mentioned are: Michelin Harmony Michelin HydroEdge Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus Goodyear Assurance ComforTred Goodyear Assurance TripleTred (need to use 195/60 version) Nokian WR Honourable Mentions: Yokohamas, Dunlops and Toyos. I would also suggest Michelin Energy MXV4 S8 (used on Camry Hybrid and ES350... one step above the MXV4 Plus)
If you want more advice than you can absorb use the search function and search for tires, replacement tires, or other things like that. Be sure to check the revolutions per mile of whatever you decide on and make sure it's close to the original tires, they are 855 revs/mile.
One thing that no one seems to mention is that H rated tires (such as the MXV4) are not only low resistance but also have better stopping distances (about 10% if my memory serves me right). This is due to the stickier / softer rubber used in the H rated tires. This is also the same reason that they wear out faster. I think the safety aspect of the tire is more pronounced and more important than the slight MPG difference that you might see.
I like the Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus. It's a good all-season tire, and it comes in the stock size. Tom
