Other than the tire size throwing off your speedo, nope.

I've used Pirelli and yokohama before...vs each other Pirelli would be a bit better....but I guess I'm a cheap ass cause I never spent insane money on brand name tires anymore after I brought some off brand set in O.C and they lasted as long as top brands and ride quality was the same.

maybe on a loud car you wouldn't notice the difference. When i worked at the Honda dealership, i had SEVERAL people bitch about the road noise etc...on used cars that people traded in with cheap tires on them. I put a set of continentals on my girls TL and there is more road noise than the with the michelins that came on it, and the michelins handled way better. i can only imagine if it had some cheng shin gt's on it.

My BIL said the same thing about those two tires on his Caddy CTSV.

To each their own...never really noticed a difference on the Caddy's....I guess I have my music on to loud all the time....

Same on my CLS. Falkens were much louder than the Contis they replaced. Replaced the Falkens with Hankooks and got back to super quiet tires for half the cost of Contis.

tirerack.com saved me about $130... They even ship to the intall place if you want...

Stay away from Goodyear. I HATED mine. Too noisy, wore down too fast, and overpriced.

If this is for your Expedition, I have Michelin LTXs on mine and I love them. They aren't cheap though.

name brand to me is not important...they are all the same....

I thought/did the same too until I paid the money for some good tires (Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus). You truly get what you pay for when it comes to tires.

Anyone know of any deals going on right now?

Just bought 2 for the cobra and only ran me $360. I don't know if that's much of a deal though. But it's what I wanted!!!

My dad had a dodge 2500 that came with some variation of those michelin ltx tires. Lasted 80k and there was still a good amount of tread left when he replaced them with another set.

I have goodyears. I know not to ever get them again. This is for my 2001 Tacoma.

The tires are about 3 years old and already have dry rot and are warped to shit. I am almost positive I have bad balljoints, which caused a bad vibration and warped them. But dry rot in a little over 3 years is just shitty.

My plan is to get some good tires on, fix the balljoints, and get an alignment. Maybe it will be like new again.

I recently bought some Hankook V12's based off of the reviews I read on them....so far I'm really impressed. Tirerack was offering a $80 rebate on a set too.

Do ball joints and alignment before you spend money on new tires. If you don't, it's just going to chew up the new ones too
