Author	Topic: best tires? Yokohama Touring or Michelin x-one?
hondafan unregistered	posted February 25, 2000 07:49 PM I am replacing my Pirelli Sport Veloces at only 25,000 miles. I commute about 100 miles 5 days a week in south-central Arizona mostly on dry pavement. I am trying out some Bridgestone Touranzas but I am not going to keep them due to tread vibration at 70 mph. I am considering the Yoko Touring and the Michelin X-ones. Anyone have any suggestions? I drive about 30K each year and I want to get at least 2 years worth of treadlife. Thanks! IP: Logged
David unregistered	posted February 26, 2000 05:06 AM What is your vehicle and or size tire if you know it. Type of vehicle is critical in order to recomend a tire that is best suited for the application. Also helpful would be more inf. on driving style and desired tire performance beyond 30K per year and 100 mile a day. IP: Logged
hondafan unregistered	posted February 26, 2000 01:17 PM I drive a 92 honda accord wagon lx. tire size is 195-60-15 H rated recommended, but my pirellis were H rated and I am only going to get about 25-30 K on them. Since the car puts on about 30K per year I want a tire that will give me at least two years of tread life I've only had the Pirellis a little over 7 months. I'm thinking that tires with an S or T speed rating, all season with a high tread wear rating is what I need. And yes, I am going to keep my car indefinitely. My usual cruising speed is between 70 and 80 mph. Thanks! IP: Logged
James unregistered	posted February 27, 2000 07:17 PM I've had the Avid touring on my Mazda Protege for 1.5 years now and they have shown very little if any wear. I expect to get more than 60k out of these as long as they are kept properly inflated and rotated at reasonable intervals. IP: Logged
