I've read many requests for suggestions for replacement tires for our beloved LeSabre so I thought I'd share this.

I recently had to replace the original equipment P215/70R15 Good Year Integrity tires on my 2000 LeSabre Custom with alloy wheels. These good old tires had 78,000 miles on them and deserved to be retired.

In researching replacement tires I wondered into my on line subscription to Consumer Reports and lo and behold, they had just completed research on Performance All-Season Passenger Tires October 2004. To my amazement they selected a $60 Falken Ziex ZE-512 tire as the best of the bunch outperforming much more expensive majors such as Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Good year and Firestone.

I went into the Internet to Falken's website and researched their offerings and found that they did not offer a direct P215/70R15 tire but did have a P215/65R15 (96H) that when placed side by side with my old 70 series was impossible to notice a difference.

To make a long story short, I now have these new beauties on my alloy wheels and I'm now experiencing an excellent ride with supurb handling. If your local tire store doesn't list Falken tires you can go into their website and put in your zip code and it'll show you a local dealer.

Just trying to help!
