My OEM all season 185/65/14 tires with 55k miles are getting scary to drive in the rain. They spin excessively with minimal gas pressure when accelerating from a stop(especially when making a turn or going uphill!) and stopping with relatively hard brake pressure is an adventure in the rain. They still have a fair amount of tread left and I'd hate to replace them prematurely. They still perform well in the dry. Should I bite the bullet on these tires and replace them? If so, what is a good tire in 185/65/14 size that has good wet traction, and acceptable snow and dry performance. Rain performance is my #1 criteria. Any advice appreciated!IP: Logged |

I don't understand your comment about premature replacement.
The tires are old. You got 55k miles out of them and they are not delivering the #1 performance feature you want. Listen to your own question to see the answer to what you should do.IP: Logged |

John,
Replace the tires.
Let me guess, you have GAs (first two letters in GArbage)
Get Firestone SH30s and you will be happy.IP: Logged |
