My daily runner needs new shoes.

Size: 265/65/17

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).

At 93k miles and you have most of the original tread depth???

Gee, sounds like you'll get at least 500,000 miles from those bad
boys!!!
