Did you replace the spare tire as well? Good luck. Keep us up-to-date on how they do.

Looks nice. What tire did you had before this. And how is this new one compare to old one.. like in terms of noise, hwy speed, bumps etc.

She had stock Bridgestone Alenzas. Nothing really against them, wanted to try something rated higher than those.

The Alenzas rode fine but had some highway noise. If this were my car, I'd prolly go w/something less costly but since its my kid's....try to get the best

Those are some good tires. I'd love to get a set of Pirellis but they're so expensive.

Yes,they are expensive, but well worth it. Tires are one of the few things I'm gonna spend extra $ on b/c they are the most important safety feature for a vehicle, save the seatbelts.

This is my daughter's college car, so I'm buying the best and sacrificing in other areas...which is eating out other activitiies
