How many miles are you folks getting on the factory bridgestone tires???At 10k mine are looking pretty worn. Any suggestions on good replacement tires?
Quiet ride is most important and decent traction in snow a close second.
thanks in advance, john

I had great experience on my previous ES with Michelin HydroEdge - the past winter in Colorado was harsh, and they never missed a beat. They were also quiet enough on dry roads. I would recommend them, although I do not know if they make this tire to fit my 17" UL wheels...

10k miles seems very low, even under extreme conditions. Is the wear even? Did you rotate @ 5k miles? How's the inflation pressure?
Over the past few years I've become a big fan of both Continental and Toyo tires, and tend to look at those brands first.

17K miles on my Mich's. Rotated them at 5K and 15K miles. They are wearing just OK, rounding on the outside edge, probably because I do take turns fast. I have had much better wear on other Mich tires on other cars under the same driving conditions. Also, if I turn into a parking space at low speeds, the front tires chirp or screetch. Very abnormal.

I had the tires first rotated at the 5k service, just had 2nd rotation at the 10k service , that when I noticed that alot of the thread was gone , they are wearing even and I keep the proper inflation in them. Am curious as to how many miles other Bridgestone owners are getting. I have alway been a Bridgestone fan and I still will be, but boy do these tires seem cheap compared to the other Bridgestones I have owned. .

I have approx 23K miles on original Toyo summer tires. From looking at the wear bar I am probably about 2k miles from needing new tires. Not sure what I am going to do for replacement.
