Re: Newbie - tire woes!
I do understand what you are saying, I had a bad experience with Firestone back in the 70's and will never buy one again. I changed my tires to 245-35-18's and 275-30-19's and there are not a lot of choices in this size, there's not really a lot in the stock sizes. Also, I don't track my car so I expect to get decent mileage from them. You are correct about the tests being with new tires but I've never seen a test done for mileage or when they had 40K on them, so all we can do is use our best judgement. When it comes time for new skins, I will take what you've said into consideration and I do appreciate the info.
