    I'm close to needing new tires on my '05, which has Goodyear Comfortreads on it. I noticed a small improvement in noise and comfort over the original Integrity, but I also lost a couple of mpg. I've read good things about the Bridgestone Turanza. Anybody had experience with this tire? If so, what size did you go with? I really don't care if I can get 80'000 miles on a tire. I'm more interested in noise and comfort, and am willing to lose a couple of mpg to get that. Can anyone suggest a tire that would be an improvement over the Comfortreads?

    I'll probably squeeze 40,000 out of them. I live in the mountains in NM, and will probably replace them sooner than some folks would, but snow is coming soon, so I'd rather be ready. I hear that the Bridgestone is decent in snow.

    I heard tha too. I used to have them on my old Dodge B150 Van and they were great in the snow.
