Replying to: fmichael (May 10, 2008 3:48 am) i don't think you will be happy with the mileage on the cross terrian. you might consider the pirelli scorpion. Replies to this message: fmichael (May 10, 2008 6:28 am) obyone (May 10, 2008 8:42 am)

Replying to: fmichael (May 10, 2008 3:04 am) My only concern is that I like the idea of purchasing tires that have been rated highly by those with a 1) vehicle similar to mine (crossover/suv), You can select reviews based soley on the type of vehicle you drive at Tirerack. A few members over at the MPVClub have tried the BFGoodrich T/A and really like them. Said they were very good in the rain and dry surfaces...o.k in snow.

Replying to: okko1 (May 10, 2008 4:38 am) Gas mileage may suffer a bit with the Michelin Cross Terrain SUV - however there are alot of miles (over 42 million miles surveyed ), & many happy campers when compared to the relatively unknown Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico (just over 800,000 miles surveyed)...The Pirelli's just don't stack-up in bad weather when compared to the Michelins (I live in Wisconsin - alot of snow this past winter).

Replying to: fmichael (May 10, 2008 6:28 am) I've had the Cross Terrains before and no complaints and it does wear a little better than the LTX M/S.

Have these on the wife's Mazda and they're excellent tires, wet or dry. Would highly recommend them. The Sandman
#6455 of 6459 Peerless by stickguy May 10, 2008 (1:34 pm)
anyone know who sells this brand? My "new" COntour has 3 peerless GTs (look practically new) and 1 of some other brand (also pretty new). I am usually very anal about these things, and prefer all the tires to match, so if I could get it done cheap enough, I might get a new one that matchs. Just can't figure out where they sell them!

Replying to: stickguy (May 10, 2008 1:34 pm) I think that's a Bridgestone/Firestone brand.. Do you have Firestone stores in your area?
#6457 of 6459 Peerless Tires by sandman46 May 10, 2008 (4:49 pm)
Just did a google search and it seems Peerless tires are a Uniroyal house brand of tire. Try this yourself and read up on what I found. The Sandman Replies to this message: obyone (May 10, 2008 5:27 pm)

Replying to: sandman46 (May 10, 2008 4:49 pm) I think you've mistaken Peerless Tyre for Peerless Tire which is manufactured by Bridgestone/Firestone. Peerless Tire

You are absolutely right...I did look at the wrong website. Thanks for correcting my faux pas. The Sandman
