New tires--any recommendations?
So, my back tires are wearing down very quickly. I do not drive wild or anything, so I am kind of disappointed with the Pirelli's. I do not want to put them back on the car. I want something that will last over 20,000 lol. So what do y'all suggest? I was thinking Goodyear or Firestone? Any suggestions? My friend told me General G-MAX tires were good, but I have never heard of them.

yay! thank you. I think I will end up getting those. Do they look any different from the Pirelli's? I was looking into other tires and they do not look as nice as my stock tires.

The Road noise was almost zero. The Ride, wife said it felt like we were riding on a cushion of air. The tire Grip in heavy rain was great never lost traction. 60 to 70 MPH range The 60k warranty is nice when i had them put on they told me should get a minimum of 40k out of them. Got them from Discount Tire.

Choose your tires by description to match your driving needs (various levels of performance summer or all-season, touring, winter driving, etc.), but buy the best performance within that segment that you can reasonably afford. Better to stretch a few $ than cheap out. All other tire qualities become secondary on those rare occasions where you need all of the grip you can find. Trust Tire Rack's own tests better than opinions submitted by the majority of their customers. As long as you keep the tires properly inflated and the car in proper alignment, you ought to be getting at least 12,000 miles per 100 treadwear from brand new to the wear bars. Know that proper inflation and proper alignment FOR YOU, INDIVIDUALLY may not match Chevy's suggested/recommended numbers. The easy recommendation is Michelin's Pilot All-Season Plus. Norm |
