That is probably true as Michelin also has this type of tires: You will get less grip from them since you want less resistance, and the ride could be a little bit stiffer, so they will be good if you have a set of snow tires for winter as they won't probably not be good enough to go through winters like we have here up north.pawprint wrote: I'm tempted by the Goodyear's that "claim" to save fuel, however I don't know if I trust that claim.
Last time I rode in a vehicle with TripleTreds, I was immediately turned off. Not sure if it was more the vehicle (Dodge Caliber) or the tire, but the tire noise was unbelievable! I hope the noise isn't typical of this tire...kerrton wrote:The Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds I mentioned are actually an all-season with good ratings on snow and ice, but I find Goodyear tires priced a little high, and they've got a lot of marketing behind them.
Don't wait too long before using or selling them: After 5 to 7 years, the softness of the tires is lost (it is called vulcanization), and basically, tires are then non flexible hard plastic: poor ride, no grip, increase chance of cracking.pawprint wrote:They bagged up my Continentals (with 8,500 miles on them) and I brought them home to store in the basement. Who knows if I'll use them again, but I didn't want to throw them out, maybe I'll sell them.
