Shopping for tires for the wife's Tahoe and the only new tires I've bought were Michelins but damn they are expensive compared to others. Granted I've had great luck with mine, what say you dfwmustangs?

I've been a Michelin tire guy for a while, but lately they seem to wear out faster and they are premium price. I talked to a Nitto representative at the SFoT last October and I tried the Nitto Motivos (Made in the USA) and they are great for the money. The factory Pirellis and GY tires are trash. Not sure about the truck or SUV tires, but Nitto has seemed to be putting out a nice tire for the price...Originally posted by SilverbackLook all you want, she can't find anyone else who treats her as bad as I do, and I keep her self esteem so low, she wouldn't think twice about going anywhere else.

Michelin or Continental for a daily driver. Cooper is good as well.
Back when I had Mustangs, I first tried Nitto 555Rs. What a joke. Spinfest at the track, and everywhere else for that matter. Next set was Mickey Thompson E.T. Streets. The difference was brutal. Made the car bog off the line. Which I was fine with because I realized that I finally found the right tire moving forward.

Kumho Ecsta STX replaced the pirelli scorpion that came on my f150 tremor. Much better tire than the pirelli but a bit noisier. I'll deal with the added noise for the gains in traction dry and wet and much better wet weather siping, less hydroplaning tendencies.
I believe I paid just over $500 for the set of 275/55/20, shipped, from tirebuyer.com.
