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?




What's the real make & model of the car?


Toyota 4Runner V8, auto, part-time 4WD.


How do you like that vehicle? My wife has a Toyota
Highlander....very solid. She loves it.


Both are top-drawer vehicles. I bought a 4Runner because it is built on
a traditional truck frame, and therefore is more rigid than a vehicle
with monocoupe construction. The Highlander is very appealing, though.

Where is it made?


Highland.


If you hang on a couple of years, you'll be able to purchaase a RAV4


from a spanking new plant in Woodstock, Ontario.

WHOO HOO!!


Trust me... that little SUV is going to be even more popular in the
future than it is now.
I'm waiting for Consumer Reports to do a review on the 2006 RAV4 V6 just
to see if it dislodges the Subaru Forrester from the #1 spot it's
enjoyed the last 3 years or so. (small car based SUVs)
