[QUOTE="Dreman, post: 536596, member: 61303"] I like Michelin. I still have the factory Michelin 235s on my Trac at 83,000 miles, although they are getting close to the end of their life. I replaced the garbage General tires on my GMC with WalMart Michelins at 57,000 miles, and drove them almost 90,000 miles. Even though they weren't yet down to the wear bars, I replaced them with WalMart Continental Sport LT/SUVs because they were cheaper and had an 80,000 mile warranty. I'm currently at about 50,000 on them, and it looks like they might just make it, although I've had a couple of flats with them. My observations: General - relatively short life, bad (I mean really bad) traction, just plain crap Michelins - excellent road traction wet or dry, very long life, although a bit pricey (about $550 drive out for 4 255s) Continentals - good traction, long life, decent price (about $440 drive out for four 255s at WalMart) [/QUOTE]
