Default Replaced your Tires?

What did you choose? Are you happy with them? It's time to replace my Bridgestones. Thanks

Yup, I replaced my bridgestones with micheling enregy s8's I got from tire rack. I had the dealer put them on at my 35,000 mile oil change.

I like them much more than the bridgestone tires that were on there.

And the dealer was the cheapest places to have then installed. I think they charged me $50, to install and balance them.

Has your typical MPG changed? Did you reflect the tire change in the data base notes?

The mileage seems to be about the same.

I have not updated my mileage data recently, I need to, but I have been lazy.

I have been getting poorer mileage due to the weather here. About this time of year the winds pick up and I get terrible mileage with my route. I also got a new puppy a couple weeks ago, and find myself driving a bit faster in the interstate to get home 10 minutes earlier. I have been driving between 70 and 80 now in lieu of the 65 to 70 I was doing.

Either way, my mileage has been between 35 and 40 recently.

I also have not taken the time to check my tire pressure since they were installed, and I am sure they are at a lower pressure than I had in the bridgestones.

I really need to check the pressure and log my recent tanks, but hunting season starts tomorrow, and my spare time will be spent hunting ducks and geese.

For those interested in winter tires in colder climates, Michelin has released an Alpin version of the Primacy, which is based on the same technoloty as the OEM Energy tire used on the TCH. The tire is H-XL rated.

I don't have this tire, but would be interesed in a post on ride and performance from someone who has bought it.
