Re: I'm downgrading my rear tires to 18 inches on 225.40.18
Well, on my 07 (I guess it says something about the way I drive) (both cars were purchased new)...when it was just shy of a year old (17,000 on the odometer) the front OEM Contis had slipped belts....I had to replace them STAT locally....the tires I replaced them with became VERY noisy ....so when the odometer had about 41,000 miles on it was when I installed theses ATRs.....to this day they still quieter that the originals & first replacements.
Wife's car is quieter (OEMS)....but then I have Blizzaks on the rear of mine ....got those super cheap & have put 11,000 on them & they still have 8/32nds left !!!!!
So happy with the combo....I have a second set of both in the basement.
