Replying to: wobbly_ears (Sep 30, 2009 6:25 am) I have swapped out my OEM battery as well. I actually went to Walmart and got an EverStart battery and have had no problems whatsoever. Actually, the slight headlight dimming issue I was having before, disappeared once I installed the new battery. I think you'll like the Altimax tires...they have actually made my Azera fun to drive again! Let me know what you think if/when you do get them.

I'll be changing tires, but I doubt to Generals. My Silverado pickup came with Generals and the tread was gone in 18K miles. I usually get 50K+ miles from premium tires. I put Yokahama's on my truck, but they were way overpriced and I wouldn't have purchased them except General paid a large share of the cost to get me off their back. I probably won't be that lucky in this deal. It's just kind of sad that we have to deal with this crap after paying a premium for a supposedly top of the line car. We really like this car, but it won't take but one more hit like this to put me in something else.

I guess in this regards...you have to expect the savings to show up somewhere. I wonder if anyone complains about the Michelins that are OEM on Honda vehicles? If not...maybe Honda brokered a deal for a better quality tire than Hyundai did.

Replying to: allmet33 (Sep 30, 2009 6:43 am)  One thing I'd say about Michelins though, they seem to last a long time. I think I can easily go for another 15-20k easily. But I think I'll go for another 5k on these & then replace them (or if Tirerack has some good price on them before).

Replying to: wobbly_ears (Sep 30, 2009 8:44 am) The only good thing is that technically, you didn't come out of your pocket for the Michelins, but I do understand it seeming like a waste to replace them now. I know one thing, if I would have know how much of a difference it would have made, I would have swapped mine out long before they wore down. I think I got about 40-45k miles out of them. What really made me frown upon the OEM Michelins was the fact that when I put my 20" wheel package on with Nexen-made Lexani tires, even those tires were an upgrade in terms of quietness, handling and comfort...even with a shorter sidewall. The only trade off was I only got about 35k miles out of them. I wonder if the Kuhmo brand tires that come on some of the other Hyundai vehicles are any better? |

Replying to: allmet33 (Sep 30, 2009 7:36 am) I've seen the Energy MXV4's on a lot of cars....OEM I presume. I haven't seen them for sale  retail...the Primacy MXV4 is usually listed (more expensive and probably better grade) The Energy's are probably a OEM factory run tire...I still have them on my 06 with 24k and they look like new....

Replying to: 101649 (Sep 30, 2009 9:37 am) 24k miles on those tires, yeah...they're gonna still look pretty new. Once you hit 35k or so...they'll start looing a bit worn, but you'll notice a drop off in handling, quietness and performance in incliment weather.

Replying to: allmet33 (Sep 30, 2009 9:54 am) What do you know about the Nexen N 5000's??? I can get 4 mounted, balanced, etc for $400 locally...I think you had a set on your car....I know they are V rated, but haven't checked on the treadwear, temp, or load rating...I want to put a set of 235/45/17's on my '06.
