Thread: Need Tire Recommendations for the MPV

  1. #1

    Default Need Tire Recommendations for the MPV

    Time for new tires on the family hauler. The OEM lasted on 27k miles.

    I think that's ridiculous for a family car on all seasons. No, I didn't do any smoky burn outs.

    The current tires are Dunlop Sport 4000 A/S in 215/60/16.

    Any recommendations on a good, long lasting, all season tire that won't break the bank?
    ...and across the line.

    Well... I'm too lazy to search... but I really really really liked the falken 451???? that I ran on the V dub. They were in fine shape after 22 k miles and easily had another 20+. On the 16 inch rim, they're warranted for 50k miles if you get your alignment checked every 5k miles...

    Long lasting good ride I would say look into a set of michellins. Only problem is they are not cheap.

    I really liked the Goodyear Assurance comfort tread tires that I had on my [cough]Honda Civic[/cough] for tread wear, comfort and durability. They are about $97 at the tirerack.com and for $5 more, you can get the Triple tread that has even better wet traction, but more road noise.

    I ended up getting a killer deal on Goodyear Assurance TripleTred. Discount tire ended up giving me a terrific deal at $90 ea. There normal price is $121 ea.

    This tire had good reviews and good mileage and wet weather handling. Plus DT is just around the corner which makes maintenance service easy.
