so i got a new/used daily driver and it had grease ball good year RSA tires on it that were the worst tires i have driven on.
after looking at the reviews on tire rack for some good all season touring tires i went with the pirelli cinturato p7 all season plus and they are AWESOME! if you are looking for a smooth tiding quiet tire that handles well this is the one. i have been a michie fan for years but these p7's are great for less money. some thing else that i have noticed is that these tires roll out far better than the old tires, backs up the claim of low rolling resistance. they don't look like much but they do perform very well. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...fromSurvey=true |

I too gave up on Michelin years ago - generally decent tires but once price was factored in...
Sounds like you found a decent tire. On my Suby I run 235/40/18 Continental Extreme Contact DWS - coming up on 40k miles, just starting to show some signs of noise, tread life is good likely will get upwards of 45-50k out of them, respectable in the snow though AWD helps, and a decent amount of grip on dry and wet roads. From my experiences I'd recommend the Conti's also for anyone in the market for a good all season sport tire. So what is your new DD? |
