Agree again...
Agree - as long as you go with good high quality tire it doesn't have to be the most costly. Have read good things about the Continentals. My objection would be someone who buys the lowest cost tires available with the assumption that they are all pretty much alike. I think that's generally a bad plan.

Exactly. The Primacys may be the best thing since sliced bread, but I won't be buying them because my previous experience with Michelin tires has been less than stellar. The Generals I bought have been excellent tires and I will buy them again without any hesitation whatsoever.

I stopped buying Michelins because after buying Yokohama, Hancook and Continental tires and finding them just as good for my needs, I was no longer willing to pay a lot more for Michelins.

Goodyear has a 160 dollar rebate on the comfortred touring, rated better than primacy on tirerack if you take out a credit card. I bet they come out at 125 bcuks give or take with rebate and I think it is an 80 k tire v rated

I have Dunlops from the Dealer when I bought my car. They have been good but the treadwear is 300 so the will wear out in a given 1-2 years.
I have a backup set of Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum and I paid 130.00 for each. So they are just chillin in the garage.

When I purchased my 04 UL with 21,000 miles the dealer had just installed new Bridgestone Turanza ER33. They lasted 20,000 miles.

I've heard good things about the Kumho Exsta Platinums.

I don't get it either: If I buy cake, why can't I eat it... and what does having cake and not being able to eat it have to do with getting the best value wrt car tires?
