Lastly the Michelin gets a 9.1 rating while the Yokohama gets a 8.5 rating ...Not sure which one to go with - may be splitting hairs except to say the extra 15K mile warrantee of the Yokohama is appealing and as far as it being a "T" rated tire - why should I care ? ...I doubt my Elantra will even go 118MPH and even if it did I don't ever plan on driving any where near that speed ... Your additional thoughts ?
I am confused. Looks like the Yoko is much cheaper than the Primacy, at least at DTD: http://is.gd/xvWrDI
Avid Touring S should suit you just fine, as long as the tire shop is willing to mount a T-rated tire on a car with an OE spec of H. If you can really get the Primacy MXM4 for the same price, you can't go wrong there.
