Which tires should I get?

[Kelvrick]

I've needed new tires for a while now, but its starting to get pretty bald. Because of my lack of rotating them, my backs are fine, and my fronts are bald.

They have some cheap tires on now, so its not worth getting the same kind again to have 4 of the same tire. This should last for the life of the car, considering they're all 80k mile tires aside from the BF's, which are 60k and the car is currently at 145k and by then, I should be getting a new car.

I've narrowed it down to 3 choices.

$185 Michelin Harmony

$160BF Goodrich Traction T/A

$140Yokohama Avid Touring

The prices are installed, OTD prices for 2 front tires, mounting, balancing, and lifetime flat repair.

I drive a 93 camry, so its not for performance, but I like grip, and will be going up in the snow this winter. Otherwise, it'll be for mainly highway driving.

Vote!!

The Michelins completely suck for their price. Traction T/As edge out the Avid H4S in traction by a small margin. Tuff call between those two.

OOps, I put in the wrong MIchelins. Its the Harmony's that I meant to put in. The Harmony's are way better then the Symmetrys.

EDIT: That, and I haven't had anyone say they had the Yoko Avid H4S's in my size, 195/70/14

That's OK, I punched in the wrong Avids. They do look like the best bang for the buck, too.

I'm getting a session expired for the link, and looking at it, I got the 4cyl model with 14" wheels. Do you mean the Avid S/T or the Avid V4S?

As far as tirerack, the only Yoko's in my size are the Avid Tourings, the Avid T4,s and the Aegis LS4, and the T4 doesn't look that good at all, with the Touring beating out the Aegis.

This link should work... It has all the details I checked. I'd get a new comparison for the 4 banger, but Tire Rack is being hammered.

OK, here's the new one...

I have them and really like them. However, the LS-T's would work as well.
