My daily runner needs new shoes.

I'm looking at Michelin Cross Terrains at $193 a foot, versus Goodyear
Wrangler SR-A's at $179. In other words, the price is close to the same.

So, how the hell does one decide, one over the other?



Harry,

My personal choice is Michelin. I have the LT265/75R16C LTX M/S on my GMC
Z71 I currently have 93,000 miles on them and they still have most of the
original tread depth left (11/32 according to my Discount Tires guy). They
also get great traction on ice and snow. (I commute 47 miles each way every
weekday year round to northern Indiana (and have for 16 years).

I have owned Goodyear Wranglers, Firestone Wilderness, General Grabber, and
BF Goodrich All Terrain tires in the past and these Michelins are by far the
best tire I have ever owned on an SUV or 4X4 Pickup.

You can also go to the NHTSA website and review government ratings for
various tires and vehicles.
