Question Tires for Park Avenue

Well, I need some more advice from you experts.

My 96 PA is going to need tires real soon. I found a 1/2" long separation in the side wall of one of the tires. Currently the car is sporting Kendra Kenetica P215 70 R15's. I drive 75 miles on the interstate to work 5 days a week. Looking for a reasonably priced tire with good ride and wear characteristics. What do you guys recommend (or NOT recommend)?

Thanks!

I have a set of Hankook High Mileage tires on my 96 PA = they are quiet and have served me well. They do have whitewalls on them - which look good on a PA (IMHO).

Re: Tires for Park Avenue

Well, I had new tires and a four wheel alignment done yesterday. I had some General Altimax RT's put on. That combined with the alignment has finally eliminated the severe high speed (> 60 MPH) front end vibration that has plagued me since I bought the car. Drove it to work and back today and thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

Looking foward to many more miles and months of enjoyable driving.

When you had the new tires put on, did they do a dynamic balance or a road force balance? Thank you.

Sorry for the delayed response. The tires were only dynamically balanced.
