Tires

Anyone have experience these?

Goodyear Assurance TripleTred
P225/55R-17 95H VSB

I'm ready to replace and these have a 80,000 wear warranty. Pro rated of course.

They are not bad. I ran them for about 35k before recently switching to Yoko W.drives.

The Yokos handle much better and are also better in the winter. Both can be run year-round.

95 load rating - oem is 97

I've seen those on cars for sale by dealers. Personally, I just wouldn't go below the 97 load rating you can get with a number of diferent tires.

Like the 235/55/17" load index 99 just a 1/2 " taller, I liked them..

I ran them for about 12K. They did well in dry, wet or snowy conditions, quiet too. They do not compare with the 18" Bridgestone RE960 or the 19" Yoko Advan I have run, but you get what you pay for. Search on Triple Tred or Triple Tread you will find other opinions.

I just put on some Faulken ZE 912's onto my 05' 4.2, really like them and paid $126 a tire.

you might want to....

....check these out. 97 load rating. Good reviews. Good price. I have 3500Kmi on them so a real verdict is out...but so far very good. Note I live in Tennessee so not sure it would be the choice in area that experiences regular snow fall.
