Smile Re: Need Tire Replacement Recommendation

I was going to get the Michelin Exalto's but changed my mind after checking with Consumer Reports which rated highly on the Michelin X Radial as having excellent LRR. Got about 500miles on them and getting a few miles per gallon better than the old Dunlops, but I also had the rear control arms replaced so that might factor into the numbers. Tires are at 32psi, gonna bump it up to 38psi next week to see if I can squeeze out a few more mpg's. Tires are a lot quieter than Dunlops but they tend to break loss easier on turns after a stop. 80K mile warranty also is not too bad. $440 out the door from Costco, just missed their $60 off sale, which could of got me in for $380. The Michelin X Radial is only available at Costco and Sam's Club if anyone is interested.
