One more bump for the overnight crew. I'm going to bed.

I had one bad experience with Dunlop--enough that I will avoid it always.

Thanks for the help everybody - I ended up going with the BFGs.

I'd get the Michelin X's just because for $10 more, you get the instant rebate. Plus, you wont have to tire shop for a long time!

Actually I didn't know that ... tough to keep up with mergers these days, especiall when they take what used to be a shaky company like BFG & turn them into a decent one... the same thing happened to Firestone when Bridgestone bought them out & re-designed their tires.

i got miches from costco with the 60$ off
even though they were a lot more expensive its worth every penny
my car had continentals on it and handled like a boat
now with the new miches i can take corners, rides a lot smoother, little to no road noise
good ish

Good choice, you wont be dissapointed. I do recommend you check the tire pressure before leaving though. Walmart employs very low paid, untrained technincians. I had a set of the BFG Traction T/A put on my wifes camry and failed to check the pressure. Should have been 30PSI all around and they put in 40psi. After 10000 miles the tires tread was wore down to a 7 in the middle but still a 10 on the edges. Walmart did replace them all without charge though so I can't complain too much.

Great thread.

Tomorrow I'm going to Wal-Mart in my Accord, which is still on a donut. I need a tire size 205/15. Which brand should I go for?

Does Wal-Mart have good prices? How much to install it if I decide to let them do it?
