16 inch or 17 inch tires?
As with most things, a low price tag and a quality product do not go together. Additionally complicating things, a high price tag also does not automatically mean a quality product in tires. Finally, more mileage is typically a compromise on the performance characteristics as they typically have to use a harder rubber to get the extra miles. Whatever you are looking at, check out the reviews on TireRack. You can pretty easily pick the better options from the not so good options.My fiance said the dealership wants $185 a piece for the tires that are on hers now and they lasted about 40k. I am sure I can find quiet tires that are good cheaper then that.
I'm buying at least one set of tires next month and trying to avoid a second set. Oh and be happy you're not shopping for 255/50r19s
