I'll most likely be replacing these between 40K and 45K miles. I've been looking at replacement LRR tires and so far am considering Pirelli P4 Four Seasons, Yokohama AVID TRZ, and the Michelin Energy MXV4. If anyone has suggestions or opinions let me know.  |
I have had two of those tires on my cars over the past few years (but not on a TCH)
I have had the Michelin MX4 Energy on another late model sedan, and they were good tires. Not sure about "road noise" issue - most tires (of similar style) sound the same to me. I got 40K miles on mine, and could have gone longer (10-15K easy) - I just don't like going over 40K on the same set of tires.
I've had AVIDs before; they were okay, but seems to wear faster and more likely to get punctures. (This is obviously a very scattered thing; ex. I had 3 punctures, but my Michelin's had 1). The tires was still fine after the patch and ran okay.
If I had to rank them, I would go Michelin, Pirelli, and Yohohama, in that order. But I think the are all probably decent tires, esp. if you are replacing at 45K.
