#10 of 39 Re: Found a nail on the tire [prdm] by hhmax Dec 18, 2006 (7:17 am)
Replying to: prdm (Dec 18, 2006 6:21 am) Thanks for the reply prdm. The hold is just outside of the line: A guy in an auto shop told me that it is boarderline to be considered the side wall. He also said if there is no leak, don't worry about it and it is probably good for another 10K kms.   Searched the internet, found that there is the thing called tire plug. Will it help?

Replying to: hhmax (Dec 18, 2006 7:17 am) a tire plug is good if you have a complete hole in the tire..its like an inverted mushroom...the tire must be taken off the rim...the stem of the plug is then inserted into the hole and the cap of the mushroom forms a patch on the inside of the tire....base type of tire repair IMHO....
#12 of 39 OEM Bridgestones on their death bed... by csandste Jan 09, 2007 (10:21 pm)
Actually lasted longer than I thought they would given the mediocre specs. Unlike some others I actually liked these tires. I have a bit over 40,000 miles on them, and they may go another 10K if I'm lucky. Only rotated them once because I was more afraid of having the rotors warped.   These were much better tires than the Michelin Energies on my Hyundai which crapped out in 35K and sucked on wet roads. Had good luck with replacement Uniroyal Tiger Paw H's, note that there is a non-H rated Tiger Paw. Kind of funny that the cheap end of the Michelin line served me a lot better than the more expensive Michelins but that was the way it was on that car at least.   Any suggestions? I want to keep payments relatively low. Replies to this message: maxx4me (Jan 10, 2007 1:32 am) pao (Jan 10, 2007 7:19 am) minn_maxx (Jan 20, 2007 8:33 am) csandste (Jan 20, 2007 10:47 am)

Replying to: csandste (Jan 09, 2007 10:21 pm) I agree; I think they were the best OEM tire I have ever had. I went with Bridgestone G009. While they are a good tire, they spin out pretty easily. Perhaps it is because the Maxx has too much torque from a stop. Consumer Reports has done a tire comparison pretty recently. I'd check that out in the library.

#15 of 39 Goodyear TripleTreads on my Maxx... by kurtamaxxxguy Jan 18, 2007 (5:22 pm)
Other than being somewhat harsh over small bumps, they grip better than the former Bridgstone Invictas did and seem to be wearing well (around 20K miles on them so far and no major tread wear).

Replying to: csandste (Jan 09, 2007 10:21 pm) If you live where it snows, I would highly suggest Nokian WR's "extended" all seasons. They are good in the dry/wet and excellent in the snow along with having better response than the stock Bridgestones. Downsides are they are a bit noisier, seem to have dropped my mileage a little and are over $100 ea... Replies to this message: csandste (Jan 20, 2007 10:47 am)

Replying to: myeary (Apr 08, 2007 7:02 pm) 30 on front and back and 60 I think for the spare.
