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.

First five from the Toyo list:
800 ULTRA RADIAL ALL A B 700
SPECTRUM RADIAL ALL A B 580
800 + 75 RADIAL 15 EXCEPT A B 540
800 + 75 RADIAL 14 A B 520
800 + 75 RADIAL P235/75R15XL A B 500

They are ranked quite high in their respective price range......

Bassy,
I was comparing them to the Bridgeston and Micheline rating and was
really looking at the number of tires in each range.

PS - My high ranking Bridgeston tires only get 30,000 miles to them.
Since they are rated for 60,000 I have had them discount the tires 50%
and install them for free.
