An engineer friend from eastern Massachusetts (formerly of Connecticut) recommends
Michelin Cross Climates, but keeps a set of
Nokia Happalita for serious winter use. (VW Golf and Hyundai Elantra).
Tires that are sold on new cars (and trailers) are usually the cheapest in every regard, so your
used SUV purchase was a good "happenstance".
Every new cheap tire rides smoothly for about six months. My
Coopers got hard-riding and noisy, so I got credit towards
Firestones in Manchester. A year later, I found a boat owner who wanted noisy
Firestone car tires for his boat trailer, so I got a good used-tire price and bought new tires recommended for a long-lasting and quiet ride.
Today, I've got great
Hancook tires (made in Malaysia
) about seven years old. Next season, I'll advertise my used car tires for boat trailer owners, and likely get another set of Hancook tires. (Pending research--of course).
