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?
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.

With you and Bassy both getting great service from TOYO, it makes me
question the info on safercar.gov. TOYO has some of the lowest wear
ratings on the site.

I got almost 60k from the Toyos on my 92 Taurus. Disclaimer, though: I'm a
fanatic about tire pressure. I check it at least once a week.
