For dedicated winter tires, also have a look at the Snow/ice winter tires discussion topic.

I should thank my wife for steering me toward Legacy GT from STi or Evo. Krzys
#4574 of 7006 Durability? by ruking1 Mar 22, 2005 (8:33 am)
Even though the performance for the buck is very good, (30,000) it would seem to keep it going and keep it "FRESH" would require a sum of $ reserves equal to or exceeding the original cost of the EVO. Seems a good used Corvette Z06 would be the ticket for those coveted romps on the track. Seems like you would need a spare set of rims, tire set choices, brake pads and rotors and obligatory brake fluid bleeds.
#4575 of 7006 Thanks.... by kschac Mar 22, 2005 (11:09 am)
...for the input. I hope (and suspect) that the GS-D3's are better suited to a 545i than an EVO.
#4576 of 7006 Keep ups informed!? by ruking1 Mar 22, 2005 (11:57 am)
Let us know how it turns out! It seems GY is getting out of the BAD year tire making business!! The D3 might be one of the examples that puts the GOOD back in Goodyear.

#4579 of 7006 Best Tires for CRV 1998? by rugger4 Mar 23, 2005 (6:29 pm)
Trying this same question in Honda CRV group. Perhaps this forum also has some input. Cheers! I've got great winter tires Toyo Observe Plus, they really rip through the winter snow. 6000km and no probs so far. I am now looking for good Summer tires, for dry/wet/and occasional unpaved roads. Checked out Tirerack but they actually suggest Bridgestones, which I cannot believe. Don't trust them. Too many bad reviewer ratings. Another suggestion was the GoodYear Comfort tread. Does anybody have a suggestion?
#4580 of 7006 Which Bridgestones do they suggest ? by krzyss Mar 24, 2005 (10:13 am)
Bridgestone makes tens if not hundrends of tires. Krzys
#4581 of 7006 Turanza LS-T's by sandman46 Mar 24, 2005 (5:03 pm)
Have these on my '03 Sentra and they are phenomenal, 1000 times better than the Portenzas that were OEM. At 10k miles, they look factory fresh with not a hint of wear and the car drives smoothly and securely in any weather condition we have here in South Florida. Absolutley love 'em! The Sandman

Yes, personal injury lawyer, but Product Liability is a little out of my league, since prosecuting those cases usually requires the lawyers with $100K-1mil who can advance expenses with the hopes of winning the home run...I still need to get to my tires and see what it actually reads...I am grateful to all who have posted so far...last year, a friend had a defective tire case, a supposed good tire by an Italian manufacturer blew to bits at 60 mph...lawyers spent almost $300K in expenses, expert witness fees, etc...driver has been in coma for a few years, med bills over 1 mil and rising... anticipated recovery $5-20 million...after 3 week trial in Federal Court, jury found for tire maker, lawyers were out the $300K obviously... that is why I do the small stuff (simple auto accidents, serious work comp like loss of limb, broken bones) and leave the product liability and medmal to the boys with more money than I would have in 10 lifetimes...of course, if the crippled victim who was just rear-ended by a drunk Coca-Cola delivery driver would just walk (or be wheeled into) my office, maybe I could join the big leagues, too...nah, just wishful thinking for this little country lawyer...then again..
