Post your last tire/wheel purchase

Finally got the new set of Vredestein Sprint+ for the '99 911 earlier today. I now have them on three cars and am truly satisfied. Just a very slight bit numb on initial turn in when going slowly, but sharpen with speed to almost darty (if that is even a word) on this car at near highway speeds. Plus, they look the part without the modern graphics, etc.

Pirelli P4 195/65/15 purchased about 6 months ago from simple tire $63 out the door delivered mounted about a month ago. So far no issues daughter college car so I have no opinion but it's quite compared to the Michelin Cross climate I removed when they were new but got quite with age

Bought an LT235 80r17 for my Ram Truck Dually. IT's a Dean Tire. Backcountry HT, and its used, $48 including shipping.
Has 10/32 tread left
Will put it on the rear someday when one of the tires finishes wearing down, maybe next year.
Advantage of dually and class E tires, if one of the rears goes, you still got a backup running all the time.

Other tire I bought was a WestLake SL309 LT23580r17 for the front driverfrom Walmart.
Said they will mount and balance for $20.
Being a 3500 2005 diesel dually, I have to roll the tire in by hand for them to do it.

Just got new shoes for the Caddy ('79 CDV). Custom ordered (DIamond Back Tires of SC) whitewall/gold stripe based on the old Uniroyal Royal Seal tires.

I had a 79 Eldo and a 90 Deville. I loved running the Vogues with the white and gold.

315 70r17 x-Comp A/T. The tire shop didn't get the balancing just right but close enough for an old truck. Ride is good. I would have rather gotten the BFGs but the price on them has gotten ridiculous.

Yeah, Vogues are still quite popular. I looked at some, but could not get them in 225/75 size.

Yeah they got bought by the Sailun tires company last I saw and didn't have too many options.

Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 on my '09 BMW 550i (F: 245/35R19, R: 275/30R19). I was replacing some very old Michelin Pilot Super Sports and didn't want to pony up the large cash for Michelin Pilot PS4's. Very pleased with these so far.

2022 Acadia SLE, 40,000 kms on car.
Off; 235/55R20 Canadian Tire branded Cooper winter snow flake symbol on the stock 20x8 +50 offset wheels.
On; 245/70R17E General Arctic on Ruffino Demon 17x8 +35 offset.
West coast car, Sea to Sky highway between Whistler and Vancouver 3-4x a week.
The stock Michelin tires were a disaster in heavy rain and the winter tires wore out in 27,000 kms (17k miles).
Hopefully these truck tires will last longer and not get flats on sharp rocks like the P rated tires did.

2017 F150 265/70/r17 145k Miles
Off: Michelin LTX 99k Miles on them!
On: Goodyear Workhorse HT

I was shocked when I found the Michelins lasted 99k miles! I wanted another set of Michelins but the the premium they charge is just too much. The Goodyears were $806 all-in installed at Sam's Club. They had a free install promotion which was the icing on cake.

Michelins down the wear bar

My RAM and Jeep are both AWD so I have to change all four because of one bad tire. Used tires off a someone's new wrecked vehicle is all I can afford. $2000 plus for 4 new tires is out of my price range now that I'm retired. I just bought four brand new chinesium roadone ten ply 275/60/20 AT for $25 a piece for the RAM that came off a totaled truck. It pays to have a Buddy that owns a tire shop.
