Yea, but if I need one rebuilt there is a place local that charges about

A few years ago when I was tire shopping, the lacking bit of information
was tire rolling resistance. I think that there can be as much as a 10%

which ones. Michelin is one of the few companies that does provide some
info, and

although i've had good luck in most instances with Michelin on several
different vehicles (including Xs and XZXs), the set i put on our 300D
several years back tracked and followed road irregularities so badly
that the tire shop swapped them out for a set of comparable-level
Pirellis. (sorry,
Depending on where you live and the sort of winter conditions you experience, I
would be more concerned about
stickyness than rolling resistance. Unless, of course you put winter tires on
anyway. My past, and not recent by

Well, here in the Low Country we won't be getting much snow, and I don't
see driving anywhere where that would be an issue.
The tires on there now are Michelin X one that look like they might be

they are just old and

You just never know about mileage on vehicles. For example, my mother has a
late model Honda Civic, bought new a
year ago in May. Now has a whopping 3,200 miles on it and they would be almost
all highway miles. She keeps it at
the lake and drives it in the summer only. It is now in the garage

That looks like what is happening to the X ones on there now. One has
been losing air slowly, thought it was a nail, took it off and close
inspection shows the belt on both edges starting to separate. Maybe
3/16 - 1/4 tread left, but they are dried and cracked too, so probably
fairly old.

It would make 5th gear useless on Curt's car. I think it's a 2.2.
