Got new tires

[barkingspider]

My kid’s 03 Camry had a tire w a nail in it, I decided to replace all four tires. The old tires were Lexani and they were due. I went to American tire depot as they had buy 3 get one free. I decided on the Yokohama avid touring but the sales guy offered me the kumho solus as it had 75k mile warranty vs 65k mile for the avids. It was only $15 more. Total was $394 out the door and includes road hazard. I’ve had solus tires on an old S10 and they were fine for daily driving.

for good tires on kid's cars. Interesting design they put on the sidewall.

That tire was made in December of last year (4920).

New tires improve any car or truck. Good call to replace all four.

I love new tires!

Good job keeping your kid safe with new tires

I probably would have went with the yokohamas

Tread life warranty varies widely and is really just marketing

OTOH My Sister had a set of those TA11 on her car to replace her baldies.. I am sure they are adequate.

The Kumhos I've had on two Mercedes and a Cherokee had very good traction in the rain and Mid-Atlantic winters. Mostly slush, a little morning ice, and a couple of inches of snow for the cars. The Cherokee was unstoppable in snow up to the hubs on unplowed roads.

Unstoppable going downhill is not good.

Congrats on your new tires. However paying more for Kumhos instead of Yokohamas?

Good deal.

It’s nice having a tire size that is so cheap. I don’t even have to blink when the Camry needs tires.

The Grand Cherokee needs them soon. Those will be an ouch.

Old tires looked a bit worn on the outer edges. Underinflated or positive camber, or maybe the sipes just ended before the lug?

Thats what I like about my daughter's Elantra 195/65/15 tires I can buy the best for a fair price. My wife's enclave and my traverse different story when the time comes
