Another Tire Thread
OK,
I have about 18k on my wr's and they are toast. It took about 1.5 yrs. I paid $1000 for these and i cant do that again. Anyone have any other options. I used these all year round.
I know BIg O makes a tire that they guarntee for 30k, dont know the name.
I live in the rockies so need something that works in summer and winter.
Thanks

This winter I put on Yokohama W.drive tires. They are great! Are severe winter rated, but can be used year-round--which is what I am doing. They are extra-load, and v-speed rated. And I only paid $123 per tire.

I have had good luck with the BFG Traction T/A. Of course they are a compromise but so far they offer the best summer/winter/mileage/price combo of the tires I have tried. I don't have as much snow as you and almost no ice so take that into consideration.

I just bought the Big O Euro Tour, I live in the Rockies as well. I like the tire for sure; car handles great with it and they are quiet, same deal I only got 18k on the last set of cheaper BF goodrich's which was not only a crappy tire but had terrible treadwear and was supposed to be geat. the guy at Big Ho told me if I rotate them every 3 k I should get 30k. will see, out the door for 760ish for four.

Kumho Excsta ASX, Z rated, UHP all season and the quietest tire I've ever owned - under $500 mounted and balanced, bought mine from Tire Rack.
TR will drop ship them to the installer of your choice, I used Nat'l Tire and Battery. They called me when they came in, I drove over and an hour later was on the road. The OEM tires (Goodyear F1?) lasted almost 28K, which I understand is very good for that tire. We have about 14k on these and they look like they'll go about the same distance.
