    ...and, starting Thursday (in WA, anyway), Costco has the $70 off Michelin tires coupon.

    After about 84,000, it's time for a new set of Hydroedges on Rudy. They've been excellent tires.

    Energy savers may be a better tire for you? Slightly better FE and a little less noise and a bit cheaper? It does sound as if you are a hydro Edge fan thou! Hal

    Not so sure about those Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires. I have a little over 30K miles on mine and they have recently developed a significant noise. I've normally run them at 39/37 psi, but after the noise started have lowered pressure back to normal. This seems to help the noise and ride roughness a bit.

    I've normally had good luck with     Michelin tires - but I may look elsewhere for future tires. :mad:
