| My friend is thinking of buying a used 2002 Mazda Protege 5 from a private party. It has 44k miles on it. Currently the tires on the car are Kumho Ecsta Supra P195/50/16 tires. Are these strictly summer tires or will this handle snow also? Could you recommend an all season tire for this vehicle? Thanks. | |
| Hello, Connor. Do you know when we can anticipate the next rebate or other promotion for the Bridgestone Alenza? Thank you in advance. | |

Hi Connor, I emailed you at the beginning of the year about the Dunlop 225/60R17 runflats on my 2004 Toyota Sienna AWD- We got 16,463 miles out of the original set before they were shot, but the local Goodyear dealer plead our case and we got a semi good deal on another set- with no other reasonable options, we bought the 2nd set at the end of January (05). Now November is here, we have put 15,337 miles on the 2nd set, and guess what, the tires are getting noisier by the mile and are almost shot. So... Any suggestions on viable "run flat" replacements for these Dunlops?? Appreciate your help |

| The Bridgestone runflats on my 2005 Lexus sc430 are rough on bumps. Are there any that are smoother? | |

I have the same question as carguy1234... I am also frustrated by the minimal number of options available to replace the stock Bridgestone 235-65-16 tires on my 2003 Saturn VUE AWD 6-cylinder 5-speed automatic. Several tires recommended by sites and Consumer Reports are not available in this size. I really like the Hankook Optimo H418 for example. Can a guy go with a 235-60 or 235-70 x sixteens? |

| Hi Conner - I am shopping for new tires for our 2002 Chevy Suburban 4WD. We do little off-road (some camping). I am interested in the Goodyear Fortera line. What are the main differences between the Fortera Silent Armor and the Fortera TripleTred? Thanks! | |
From reading some of your prior posts, you would probably recommend the Bridgestone LS-H over the G009 because of superior ride comfort. I like the ride of the OEM MXV4's, but the wet traction is terrible. As the LS-H tires are a little out of my price range, would the G009's be ok on this car (205/60/16 91H), is the ride quality much worse? Are there any alternatives you could recommend that would offer quiet ride and good wet/snow traction in the same price range as the G009?

The V rated tires on my '05 Avalon XLS are hard and noisy. What do you think of replacing them with the GY Comfortred 225/55R17 which is H rated? I have checked and the 225's will fit. I have no intention of exceeding 130mph!!! Thanks. |
