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?

In my experience on a number of vehicles, you can't beat Toyo tires
for length of service.

Wife's van came with Toyos, they lasted forever, and were quite.

I won't buy a different replacement tire other than Toyo. On the last
truck, I went almost 75K on them - no joke.

Admittedly, they were on their last legs, but they still had tread.

Lenght of service is manipulated by making the tire out of harder
material. What you gain in life, you lose in traction. Especially on
wet surfaces. Personaly, I'd rather have better traction.



Having hydroplaned for about 200 feet, just once, I'd agree. It's an
interesting experience. Like being mauled by a bear.
