Oh it's tire time...

[bruiser]

Looked at Bruisersbaby's RT yesterday, she's got to have a new rear tire. 8,800 miles. Guess that's about the life expectency from what I gather. Well, at least it'll be a new one for the run to Lamonts next week. Crap, thought I posted this on general discussion.

I have just over 9k on mine and it still looks like new, as do the Fronts.:dontknow: seems to be a big range on tire wear.

I got about 10k on mine. Just put a Michelin Hydroedge on and so far I love it. I think it is going to go a lot of miles. Looks good too.

I got 14K out of mine, and at 7K on the replacement, it's about half worn. Tire life seems to be quite variable.

 

[GloryRyders]

I currently have 18K on the original tires,:2thumbs: the rear is in better shape than the fronts but probably won't begin to think of replacements for another 4-5K. I sure does seem to vary a lot!:dontknow:

So what kind of new shoes are you getting for her ride?
OEMs?
Kumho
Michelin
Falken (my choice!)
???

Me too. The size for the Michelin HydroEdge is 215/60R15. Great traction and has a 90k mileage rating, although I have no idea what to expect on the RT. It is slightly different size than the OEM tire, but works with the nanny & makes both the speedometer and odometer more accurate according to my GPS.

I usually get 13K to 15K on the rear tires. Got 26,000 on my last set of front tires on the 2010 RTS.

 

[Bob Denman]

You keep sticking with the oems; right?

 

[ARtraveler]

I am an OEM tire person. Dealer will not install anything else--and I don't need the hassle involved with finding someone who will.

 

[bruiser]

Going back with the OEM for now but plan on looking at something else down the road. I have Michelins on my truck and Firestones on the Impala. Both excellent tires.
