A lot depends on the driving conditions and weather. Being in the Chicago area we get all weather conditions. When my wife needed new tires for our van I went to Costco and they recommended Michelin HydroEdges. Great dry weather handling, unbelivable in wet weather - like you are on dry pavement, and real good in snow too - which most of it is salted here, turning to water. I just put HydroEdges on my Camry this past weekend since I have been so pleased with them. Hands down if you belong to Costco they are the cheapest and offer the best followup service - free rebalance/rotation every 6 K, free flat repair - can't beat it and they hand torque every wheel to factory specs.

Currently 225/65/17. Asking the list for a tire recommendatin that handles well and is quiet. Treadlife is a secondary consideration. Was considering Michelin Latitude Tour, until I found out that its made in China. Discount Tire recommended BF Goodrich Long Trail TA Tour - he said they are "equivalent" to the Michelin. Anyone familiar with Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tire? -- Rick Schaefer 72 TPI El Camino
