    I got these Michelin premier tires and I hate them. I put them on the front they make a lot of noise and they don’t seem to go right. They seem to be easily move left to right by the greens in the road. I’ve only had one other set of tires in all my driving years that did that. So I’m going to see if I can get something out of them and I want to replace my front tires.
    Now I have the four touring addition so I have the 17 inch wheels. It doesn’t have to be an ultra low rolling resistance tire I just want something that’s gonna give me decent gas mileage because I do Uber and DoorDash so I drive allot. But I also want something that is quiet. I had a place in town recommend a set a tires I don’t remember the brand at the moment but they seem to have really soft sidewalls and someone told me that they are easily punctured. So I said no to those.

    For $170 a tire they better do something special. I have never paid that much for tires on any car I’ve ever owned.

    Yes I have 215/45/17 tires. Seems there are more options for the 15 inch tires
