    Got a flat tire right of bad, it's a side crack which is so weird to me. Anyway, my question is to buy which set of 2?
    It has Micelin primacy, and when I compare with other models, I see that Michelin CrossClimate 2 is better rating, tread life and cheaper than Primacy. Set of 2 is about 370 after everything. Do you think it's worthwhile or going with a lot cheaper like Douglas or Westlake, which have not bad reviews. 150-200 I guess after all charges, around half price. 20210331_141819.jpeg

    Most here will tell you no, get the expensive tire. I have a $400 set (4) of Toyo tires (15 in) put on a couple thousand miles ago and they are doing just fine. I did lose about 2-3 miles per gallon since getting them though, not sure yet if it's these tires or generally any new tires. Time will tell.

    If you are only going to get 1 tire, get the same so all 4 match. That is the best thing to do.
    It depends on how much tread there is left. If there life is getting low, then you could get 2
    of whatever brand/make you choice, then replace the other to match them when they wear out.

    Some places won't replace one of a different brand because they say the missmatch is not safe.
    Which is partially true.

    Got a pair of Michelin Cross Climate 2, which has a different tread pattern, the material makes you feel real quality, hope lasts long. $340 for both 20210401_195914.jpeg
