Does it rain in those 20mls? Pedestrians? Kids? Potholes? Other cars?Disclaimer, I only drive 20 miles a day.
good morning!
Just had a nice local mechanic do all four tires. Subaru Forester. He said he likes "middle of the road" tires, like General and Firestone.
He did all four, balance, etc for about $800
I think that is a good price, do you?
Is there any need for me to pay more for Michelin?
I am only concerned about safety. she drives 2 little kids around.
THANK YOU and have a great day!

I would agree Firestone is a great "middle of the road" tire, because that is where you usually see them.good morning!

Car, driving conditions?OK. thanks! i learned a lot.
next question. wife's car needs tires. shall I ask here, or begin a new thread?
thanks bob
I think the only real Michelin choice if you are going with one tire and want the rain, ice snow would be the CrossClimate 2.THANKS edyvw.
car. 2012 Honda Accord. tires say 0816. I THINK that means 8th week of 2016. this agrees with my records, I bought new tires in 2016. By math, those tires have 33,000 miles on them. car 61,000 original miles.
I THINK I should replace them, due to age. they are michelin pilot mxm4 or something.
question:
which Michelin tires would you suggest? i am going with Michelin.
live in Massachusetts. we get rain, ice snow. I want GREAT all season tires, price not an issue.
she drives just short trips around town. no highway.
thanks for any and all ideas

Yep, CC2 would be best choice if using only one set throughout a year in MA.sequoia soon:
Accord sedan ex-l V6
P225/50R17
0816, so 8 yrs old
PilotHX MXM4 Michelin
i will go with cross climate 2 if he can get it.
THANK YOU!

I agree with others who concur that you made a really good choice with the CC2’s. I have this very tire on two vehicles which ride and handle quite differently. (‘99 Buick LeSabre and 2015 Honda CRV.). And with each vehicle, these have been very smooth and great handling tires all year long, which was the whole point of purchasing this specific tire category (All Weather) so I could avoid twice a year switchover with winter versus all seasons that so many of us in the great north have done in the past. Not sure where you got yours ordered, but I got mine at Costco because their pricing beat everyone else’s and their five-year, included Road Hazard warranty is very well regarded.THANKS edy
ordered cross climate. For a dummy like me, i feel I can't go too far wrong with Michelin. brakes and tires are important. not a problem if the car rusts or is dirty.
I recall once I inherited my Dad's Buick Park Ave. It rode and sounded awful. put on new Michelins, WORLD of difference. quiet and smooth.

Yes I have found that Michelins over the years have cleared up a lot of ride issues that the dealer said was normal.. It was not...It was the tires..THANKS edy
