Good tires for NYC ??
Well i just bought a GX470. In NY the roads are not the smoothest and best. I am in Search of a fairly priced tire(s) that ll suit the weather changes and have a decent ride. Any recommendations ??

At ~$115/ corner, they didn't break the bank. I bought mine from Walmart and had them installed elsewhere (the size I listed above is just a bit bigger than stock -- the biggest you can run with no lift and no rubbing.)

i agree. They are up to,the LTX/MS2 DEFENDER version...certainly the best choice, but also one of the more expensive choices...the owner of the place I buy from has toured the Michelin plant....a sterile environment, high quality control.

I have the Michelin LTs and they're a good tire, but if I were to replace them with another street tire I'd go with the Goodyear TripleTred - I'm willing to give up some life on the tire in return for more grip in the wet (I'm OK with a tire that only lasts 50k miles). They're a directional pattern so rotations would have to be same-side only.

Yeah, you may have to go through several replacements to get a set that balance without a baseball sized weight on the wheel. Their production quality is poor. But the tread design is quite good.
A man that lived across from my parents was a VP or something for Michelin in SC, and he was telling me about when they bought BF Goodrich in the late 80's. First thing they did was clean up the factory - it had rubber chunks and carbon black everywhere and wasn't a good or safe place to work.As a result, the employees were happy and made better tires.

Anything Michelin for sure and I also had good experience with General Grabbers HTS, comparable to Michelins and a lot more inexpensive.

Any one have experience with the CRUGEN HT51?
It is the top of the chart on tirerack.com especially when you compare the price to the Michelin LTX which is in second. I have no doubt the Michelin LTX is a great tire, but is it worth the extra cost compare to the CRUGEN HT51 that actually rates higher for a lot less $.
