#1309 of 1335 Goodyear Comfortred by alan_s Nov 17, 2005 (11:16 am)
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.
#1310 of 1335 Tires for an S-10 by cusackm Nov 17, 2005 (6:03 pm)
I have a 99 s-10 extended cab v6 and am looking for a recommendation for tires. I currently am on my second set of Yokohama Avid ST's. Here are the tires I was currently considering:   BFG radial TA Dunlop Qualifier T Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Kumho road venture ST Yokohama Avid ST   My opinion of the tires: I like these tires except for the short treadwear and they sound like mud tires on certain pavement and/or steering angles. They also arent that great about hydroplaning. They also have great traction, lots of road feel, and are very predictable and easy to control when the truck starts sliding.   The size I am putting on is 225-70-15   Thanks in advance for any advice
#1311 of 1335 Help me decide by ralph1 Nov 18, 2005 (6:41 am)
I have an 01 Lexus ES300, I have my tires narrowed down to 2 choices, Goodyear Assurence TripleTred or the Potenza G009. I live in New England so winter driving is an issue. I would appreciate your input.
#1312 of 1335 Tires For a 98 Contour SE 2.5 automatic by jim1sn1 Nov 20, 2005 (4:38 pm)
Hi Connor,           My Contour has the 16" SVT Cobra rims and 205/55R16 Dunlop SP Sport A2s that I bought from Tirerack. I am not thrilled with the tread life. It is time to replace them. The fronts especially are worn out. I have somewhat of a lead foot and drive around town a lot. I love the way the car rides and handles on the highway, but only go to Columbus 2-3 times a year. (roughly 344 mi. round trip) I keep the same tires year round until they are worn out. It snows here. I am between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. What do you recommend? I was considering the 2 below. Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S Goodyear Assurance TripleTred I'm sure they aren't in the same league, but I would love the look of the Goodyear NASCARS.   Thanks Jim
#1313 of 1335 Summer tire for a few days of light snow by wai Nov 21, 2005 (6:56 am)
I try to choose a high performance summer tire which will has a slight snow traction (which sounds idiot), mine is FWD with 225/45/17. Bridgestone S03, Michelin Pilot Sport or PS2, Goodyear F1 GSD3, Dunlop Sport SP9000. Any thought?
#1314 of 1335 Re: Tires for 2003 Sonata GLS [ajcstr] by ajcstr Nov 21, 2005 (7:28 am)
Replying to: ajcstr (Nov 16, 2005 4:59 pm) As a followup question how would the ride comfort/noise compare between the Bridgestone G009 and the Yoko Avid H4S ? Also would the Bridgestone offer better wet weather traction?
