March 5, 20196 yr Usually go Michelin, but when the factory Wranglers shit the bed at 33k on my F150 a few years ago, I went to Terra Grapplers. 60k+ later, they're still going strong. Will probably get another set of those when it's time.
March 5, 20196 yr #treadQuarters were melded to tread. How are you going to meld a quarter to rubber sidewall?
May 17, 20196 yr Need to replace tires on a minivan soon. Any recommendations? I would say traction in rain is most important, but don't want to break the bank either.
May 17, 20196 yr In my experience OEM tires generally suck as they are usually whatever the manufacturer can bulk buy at a discount. That said, I try to replace my tires in sets from the major manufacturers based on the best deal I can find. Goodyear, Continental, Pirelli, Michelin. Second tier but worth a look is Hankook, Firestone, Toyo, Kumho, Cooper. What I've found is the money spent usually trickles down to one or two guys anyways. Oh, and use Discount Tire. They'll price match anything.
May 17, 20196 yr Author I ended up with another set of Goodyears. The MB dealer was only a few bucks more than Discount, so I let them do it.

May 18, 20196 yr You pay a little more for Michelin, but you get a better tire for your money. Cheaper over the long haul.
May 18, 20196 yr This is all really damn confusing. Seems like every tire at discount has a 4.5 /5 or better rating. Am I to beleive ever tire they sell is top quality, or more likely 99% of people wouldnt know the difference between a great tire and a bunch of chaclas glued to a pizza pan, and just rate it high to feel good about their purchase. I guess we'll see. I know these retailers have a good amount of wiggle room on their prices. Last time I went in asking g for some specific pirelli for like $130, and they said they have these michelins which are "a little better tire actually" that they can sell me for the same price. I know discount is always pushing the shit they have in stock.
