Mixing tires???

never mind, problem solved

New question: Are Goodyear Assurance TripleTreads worth the extra money over my Firestone Affinity LH30's? And if I god the TripleTreads, should I stick with my P215/55R16's or should I get a diff. size? Same rims you have on your car xero...

Re: Mixing tires???

I dont sell one or the other but I tend to buy Good Year because I have not had any troubles with them ever!

Here is your Firestone stats:
Dry-3.8 Wet-3.5 Snow-2.7 Handling-3.4 Comfort-3.5 Noise-3.3 Treadwear-3.3 Rating-3.4
Rating Scale:5 - Excellent 4 - Very Good 3 - Good 2 - Satisfactory 1 - Poor 0

That was taken from here.

Here is the Good Year Tripletreads:
Dry-4.8 Wet-4.7 Snow-4.4 Handling-4.6 Comfort-4.5 Noise-4.3 Treadwear-4.4 Rating-4.5

Taken from here.

So you do the math !

I drive in a lot of wet conditions , triple treads keep me outta the ditchs and in my lane at all speeds.
The stock tires suck, you off right into the ditch

You can keep that size if they are cheaper, they are skinnier then what mine are.
Mine are 225/50/16 which are wider and tiny bit taller. which helps in snow if we ever get any

I went through a set of Good year GTs and some other stockers in three years(50k miles).
That was alot of money for crapy tires that spun, sliped and didnt do well in snow.

My triple treads dont like to smoke off very good though

Re: Mixing tires???

its not as BA as I'd like

For all the ca$h.........

I could hav bought a 99-01 TA w/350hp

btw- your title says mixing, you werent going to mix tires were you?
If they are the exact same size,
you can run like one brand in front and another in the rear.
