Got to Get Tires

The reason I suggested Tire Rack earlier is that their reviews explain the strengths and weaknesses of each model on specific vehicles so that each driver can decide based on what is most important to them.

That's true, my #1 is value. I can get more miles out of a Michelin than most other tires. I tend to keep my cars for a long time so a tire that lasts longer is of more value to me as it keeps me from shopping for tires a lot less. I was in the Auto business for 50 years and sold a lot of tires, Michelin is my #1!

I had great luck with UniRoyal Laredo tires on my fleet of trucks. Ultra-long mileage and great reliability. Available for SUVs.

Michelin is recalling more than 542,000 snow tires in the U.S. because they don’t have enough traction to work in all snowy conditions:

These are all season tires that look like the were able to get enough traction when aired up to earn the three mountain designation. On the other hand, the Ice-X is a great winter studless tire
