Tire Replacement Suggestions

[mcich7781]

Both Costco and Discount Tire have none in stock and other than maybe Michelin will have more information in 6 to 8 weeks. I not sure what to do now to find those 335's.

From my experience most of the tire manufacturers put out new stuff late March. The Michelin?s I bought from Discount Tire had a November date of the prior year. I got them between March and April. But since you will be snow bound in IL until late May, just work on other car issues.

I just checked Discount Tire and they can deliver the 335/35 R17 in 1-5 days. Price is $377/each.

That's not a bad price!

I just had Toyo Extensa HP II's put on. They came in both front and rear exact sizes. There are fewer and fewer tires that are made in matching sizes. Tire Rack at the time did not have really any in stock from one manufacture and the correct sizes. I found them with Tirebuyer, which is just like Tire rack, just smaller. For all 4 tires I paid $545 which included sales tax etc. Drop shipped to a local Tire place and they put them on and did an alignment. Between the new tires and the alignment, which it needed the car now tracks straighter and does not wander over uneven surfaces. It was less than $200 for the alignment and mounting. The previous tires the the Previous owner put on were Yokahamas. The old tires had plenty of tread, but I knew they were old.........as it turns out made in ......2006!!! Haven't driven too far, but I can tell that they are so far much smoother and seem quiet and seem to handle better.

The only knock on the tires.........is a W speed rating.....168 mph, so I will keep in under the limit!!!!!

I run the Goodyear GSD3's Great handling tire and great in the rain but super loud road noise. Not pleasant a long trips..

Thanks for the feedback on the Toyos. I was looking at them too, as I hope to put a bunch of miles on mine, and having a tire that can handle a little rain is a bonus. Plus, I do hope to wear out, not age out, my tires.

They do not have the Michelin PS2 in that size. I just called to confirm. The best they could do for me is Nitto 555 G2.. Any comment on these tires?
