Replacement Tires

[VMAN2644]

I recently switched tires for the 3rd time....Had Michelin Primacy MXV H rated....loved these tires. Great ride handling and milesage increase. I when to replace them at my local Tire Kingdom....rotated and balnce checked every 5000 Alignment twice a year.....they lasted about 45000. Wanted a new set but got jerked around by Tire Kingdom on warrenty they final said 10% off the $ 850.00 price....this was BS cause they were all worn alittle different. They didn't bother to take care of me the customer by doing the proper calculations.
Pissed off I when to BJ's bought BF Goodrich Advantage tires same 60000 mile warrenty at 495.00 and "V" rated...Graer ride, good handling and quiet......BUT lost 2 mpgs honestly. Since I will be replacing car soon it was a good move but for mileage the Michelins where much better.
Just my two cents for the aid of the forum....TCH is such a great car

After a few hundred miles and I dumped the Bridgestone EL400's for the Michelin Primacy's.I had the Primacy's before and loved them.
You could have bought from Tire Rack.I have bought my tires from them for years.
A Primacy Tire Rack purchase sent to a local installer in your area for under $600 shipped.Less with Michelin $70 rebate now.
So around $530 + installation.

if you can afford them. even better fill them with nitrogene.

folks overinflate theirs, run them at forty for better mpg. i don't. i feel, a mile saved will cost me tenfold in suspension shot sooner and repairs.
sorry to disturb the fine fabric of this forum. i buy tires either at mexican place here, or on craigslist. just had 2 studdies for her (Hancooks) from amigos for $70 each mounted on steelies(included) and balanced. new.

Yeah, I recently just replaced my factory Michelin's that my TCH had with Michelin Primacy's as well; and the H rated tire too. We don't need a V rated tire on this car. I really don't think anyone with a TCH will want to or could drive 149MPH!

Love the Primacy's...
