Yoks are toast. Pushed to their bald limit.

Kumho Solus KH16 215/60HR15 $65.00 installed w/stems, ball & RH.

These look like a good and fairly cheap alternative. Tire Rack ratings are fairly good.

I'm only keeping the car for another year or so, 20K at the most will be put on them.

With 6'4" + 6'4" and 3 boys (8(5'2" in the 2nd grade), 6yrs, and 17 months) we are already squeezed to the limit. Sadly, the only one I can sell in AZ is the car, so th J has to go (just kidding, I can't find the wink Icon) We love the J and I've got it looking, running and stopping great. Whoever buys it will get a great car.

Thanks, Matt

Arizona is severe because of the heat........just keep them fully inflated to 35 psi COLD. The AM temp before you drive the car.

Michelin and US gov did some durability test on Arizona tires and found that most lasted 20,000 miles or 2 years before significant failures started to occur.

Thanks,

They are 440 wear, A temp and A traction rated. So I expect them to do pretty well. B temp rated tires are toast very quickly. I usually run 5 over the vehicle PSI ratings out here.

Thanks, Matt

Saw a newish set on a LS400 today they had heel and toe feathering on inside and outside edges in front, rear were better.

Should be satisfactory in their price point for temps above 45-50F.
