So as I'm airing up one of my flat OE Goodyear Factory front tires that have 38,000 k on them and a slow leak that is slowly becoming a fast leak and no tread left on my 2001 GT with my trusty emergency road side plug into cigarette lighter air pump this morning, (*pause*) I had a thought. Breakfast. Then as I'm at my office eating my Quaker Oats Chew Granola Bar I had another thought...
Why don't I buy a couple or 4 tires?
All good in theory, but it is a very problematic problem. I need help deciding. So first off I will mention the tires that I will NOT be buying...
I bought 2 Kumho Ecstas for this very car a year ago and they're already almost gone. 400 treadwear- I THINK NOT~!
Will NEVER Buy Again:
Kumho
General
Bridgestone Potenza
Please note that tire makers inflate (no pun intended) their TREADWEAR #'s (ie KUMHO)
Thinking About:
$88 Sumitomo HTR 360 AA A (Had Sumitomo on the wife's old car- lasted forever)
$108 BFGoodrich g-Force Sport 340 AA A
$142 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS 400 AA A (Can only afford 2)
$105 Continental ContiExtremeContact 400 AA A
Also if you don't mind, please list another choice in my price range. I just bought a house, I have a child on the way... Thank you
And here is a picture just make this thread a little more interesting.
