Re: [Chevelle-list] Tires - Off Topic
Rick, I just turned over 111,ooo miles on a set of Michelin MTX MS on my '04 Colorado. When I first put then on, it felt like I was driving a new,different truck. Very quiet and I felt like I was floating on air; good in the snow as well. Still have another 5k left before changing for a new set. Tread life was a bonus for me. Nothing, IMO, is equal to a Michelin tire. With that being said, the Long Trails have a decent rep as far as I know, but will give you half the tread life. At about 2/3rds the price, probably not a bad trade off. And, btw, thay are made by the same company. Rich If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Tires - Off Topic
A lot depends on the driving conditions and weather. Being in the Chicago area we get all weather conditions. When my wife needed new tires for our van I went to Costco and they recommended Michelin HydroEdges. Great dry weather handling, unbelivable in wet weather - like you are on dry pavement, and real good in snow too - which most of it is salted here, turning to water. I just put HydroEdges on my Camry this past weekend since I have been so pleased with them. Hands down if you belong to Costco they are the cheapest and offer the best followup service - free rebalance/rotation every 6 K, free flat repair - can't beat it and they hand torque every wheel to factory specs. -Krister - Original Message - From: Rick Schaefer ric...@gmail.com To: The Chevelle Mailing List chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 5:59:06 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [Chevelle-list] Tires - Off Topic I'm looking to replace the tires on my wifes Highlander.
