[VAL] Re: [VACList] Truck Tires?



Dave
I have driven the same truck since new in 1988 and have put many different
tires on it over the years.
The Daytona tires actually lasted longer than either Goodyear or BF Goodrich.
But about 4 years ago I broke down and bought a set of Michelin LTX M/S tires
at the base gas station during a tire sale. Theses tires have now been on the
truck twice as long as any other tire I ever tried. And they make my truck
ride better and quiter, it's been amazing I can hear the radio without having
the volume maxed out. When I bought them they cost me 124.00 per tire. I
thought it was high since I was paying about 20 dollars less before for other
brands. At Sears and other tire shops around town the Michelins are very high
dollar. If you have a friend on a military base check with him and see if you
can acquire some cheaper than what you have priced. They are worth the extra
money though.
