Do you know what brand tires are on your car or SUV?

Jimmy544 quoted:

"Pirrelli P4 all season. They are supposed to be good for 99000 miles but it does not look like they are going to make it with only 52,000 and some of them showing some wear. They were not cheap either."

Hi Jimmy544, were you really told 99,000 mile treadwear? That's unrealistic for a performance tire, they're rated 60K on Pirelli's website (under lab test conditions of course lol)

I have these P4's on my MG sports car and LOVE them but I push them hard and I'll be happy with 30K tread life; that's what I expect, they're 1/3 worn @ 12K miles now.

Mine were so reasonable priced, $62 each. (Discount Tire Direct)

Toyo Proxes S/T. They've been very good for me. I've got 50K on them and they look good for at least 30K more. I'll replace them with Toyo Versados if I ever wear these out.

Hankook i-Pike winter tires.
Just about time to take the off and put on my General G-Max all-season tires.
Wife's car has Blizzak winter tires.
We are going to put G-Max on her car as well.
