Recommendations on tires

I put Goodyear Assurance Triple Tred on my van and really loved them with all the snow and ice we had this year. Much quieter than what I had before. !#1 rated tire by Consumer Reports.

If you are in the DSM area I have two words: Earl's Tire

They are not a national chain and really do a great job with service and price.

That tire has a sweet tread pattern. Isn't this the tire, or at least tread pattern, that the state troopers have on their vehicles. I didn't read the description but I bet those tires are sweet on wet surfaces.............Ummm, Maybe I'd better re-phrase that...

I'll bet you you can't hydro-plane with those tires and they are good in rainy conditions. That sounded much better.....

The F1 GS-D3 is probably the prettiest tread pattern available:

i just checked my tires and discovered that I have put 91000 miles on my B.F. goodrichs and still have 6/32 of tread left. check the reviews on tirerack you can even find some with the same kind of car at different miles on the tire you are looking for.

Now that she drives a 400hp SUV I get her summer and winter tires and change them out with the seasons.

I bet that gets good gas mileage.:biggrin::biggrin:

What is it? Escalade, Trailblazer SS, Cherokee SRT8, or please tell me it's a Porsche Cayenne

I can't believe how long this thread has been going.

TB SS. It's AWD so it's pretty fun to get all that power to the ground. To me it drives like a go cart. Her overall average is 18 mpg. It would probably be 10 if I were driving it. I tried to talk her into a new V8 G8 tonight. I got her to George White to see the first one in, but no dice. I think she will end up with Cadillac or BMW of some kind. She kept talking about my V and if it were only automatic. There is no way I'd let her get a V; she'd put it in someones front lawn the first time she punched it. When the 09's come out they are going to be 550hp.

The price is right for Kumho's but I find that they give a little rougher ride than some of the other brands, other than that no complaints

I just got my tires from Big O in Ankeny. I got the Big O Brand (I think they might be made by goodyear) Seemed to be good bang for the buck plus they are warrantied with free roadside hazard (which came in handy when my wife ran over a nail) and free tire rotations. They have other brands too.

I got all 4 tires with all service for $400.

I also got the Big O Tires about a month ago. My tread was starting to separate on my old tires.

The Big O brand ones I got were made by Cooper and cost me aboput $385 with a free alignment.
