New Tires - Finally Bought Some

Good for you. I had to get tires today. 30K miles and one had a screw in the sidewall and two others had the belts seperating. OEM integrity's at 30,ooo miles so expected them to die sooner or later anyway.

I ended up with 4 Cooper CS4's. They refused of course to put more than 35lbs in the tires and said if I did I would void the warranty. "We know what were doing".

*sigh* I do get tired of those battles. Nice tires tho. Sorry to hijack your thread. Needed to vent!

 

Does anyone have any experience with these tires in the snow? Or even rain? Costco sells these, and now they have a $70 off of 4 Michelin tires (the only Michelins they have, according to their website, for this size are these and the X Radials.

Thanks.

 

I can only reply about the Michelin X Radials. We put them on our 05 Prius and they were night and day difference from the original goodyear tires. I ran them for one year then sold the car to my brother who has run them for the second year in all kinds of conditions. They were equal in milage after a breakin period of 1500 miles and superior in every other respect.

 

I just bought new tires as well, but I won't get them until next week with the 16" rims. I would rather have gotten the Michelin's, but I opted for the Assurance Fuel Max (205/50/16s) because they were $70 less/tire. If I hadn't gotten the rim/tire package I probably would have gone with the Michelins because they're apparently a much better tire.
