To be honest I have not been keeping up with the activity on the tire forum so sorry in advance if my question seems repetitive. Our two primary cars are needing tires and I was looking for advice:
2015 Toyota Sienna LE (front wheel drive) – This will be our 3rd set of tires, this car eats tires which has been our experience with minivans. Currently we have snow tires with dedicated rims on the car, come springtime when we switch over, we want to replace the worn-out Cooper CS5’s. Looking for a decent all-season tire, was thinking of General Altimax RT43’s or perhaps another set of Coopers.
2012 Subaru Legacy (AWD) – This car has a few mods, and I am running 18-inch wheels with 225/45/18 VR Altimax RT43’s. These tires have about 47,000 miles on them and they are down to about 4/32nds. So, they are due to be replaced soon. Looking for a decent all-season tire that has better than average winter performance. Was considering the Altimax RT43’s again, but I am also looking at the Yokohama Avid Ascend GT and/or LX.
Lastly, both cars have their tire pressure monitor lights on as they are not getting a signal from a couple of the tires. Is this just a matter of replacing the batteries when we have new tires mounted? Or do these monitoring units need to be replaced?
Open to suggestions and recommendations.
TIA
