Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Here, buy these tires from Tirerack and have them installed at Walmart. You'll be thanking me. I put them on the Lexus, and I'm really glad I did.

thanks for the reply. I did take a look at those. My concern was all of the comments regarding the soft sidewalls and bubbling issues resulting from that. In PA are roads are pretty bad as far as pot holes are concerned. The highways might actually be worse than the residential roads! Wasn't too concerned about the low treadlife on them considering I only got about 28 on these crappy michelins.

Not sure of your driving habits..but how do they take corners at higher than normal speeds?

 

The tires I showed you are the best tire from Kumho. They're better than the Michelins that it came with.

 

Yeah I must have been looking at some other tires, these seem to go over better with people. Just bad in wet apparently, but not like the michelins were any good in that respect.

i have never ordered tires online before. do you usually have them shipped to your home or walmart? though i may want to find a place other than walmart, can't stand the place. what does the installation typically cost you? do they still offer hazard insurance on tires you bring in or do you just get it from tire rack? or at all?

 

Kumho's rock. Also consider Kumho AST's or ASX's. I had ASX's on my Tiburon and loved them. They were decent in the snow (I'm also in PA)
