Costco has a great deal on snow tires right now. They're performance snow tires if that helps the cause with the other half. Bridgestone Blizzaks WS90 $418 installed after $150 off.
I installed these on my 2020 Camry Hybrid and my MPG went down about 15-20%. My car is really sensitive to almost anything in relation to fuel mileage.Michelin Cross Climate 2 are all the rage now and have great reviews. Haven't noticed any MPG loss in the 2020 CRV Hybrid. I know you don't want Michelin's but they are worth looking into.
For whatever reason, my OEM Michelin Primacy 215/65R17 99H tires are going to last 60k miles.I think that was what it was, when I switched years ago. I was not happy with price/lifespan of Michelin Primacy and did RT43. Good sized drop, but I'm not going to go dig into records to find the exact number.
Nice! We had a set that did 30k to 4/32's. I was befuddled how such a good tire could last so little time, wound up taking past the bars to get 40k. Found the RT43's at that time, they were cheaper and wound up doing about 40k to the 4/32's mark--with vastly improved performance in the snow. Win all around as far as I was concerned.For whatever reason, my OEM Michelin Primacy 215/65R17 99H tires are going to last 60k miles.
I had a set of the Truecontact Tour’s last 70K with 3/32-4/32 remaining. Bad news is that the driver complained about non-existent snow traction at the 5/32” mark during a weekend trip up to the Sierras. Not sure if that is typical for all tires, but thought I’d share.Spoke with the wife this morning. She thinks she wants the Conti TruContact. So this week I'll shop around for a set of those. *cough* if she doesn't like them it's not my fault *cough*
Good to know, thanks. IMO that's ok, that's getting thin, and acceptable/normal, and IMO I'd like to have snows go on instead for the worst of winter anyhow.I had a set of the Truecontact Tour’s last 70K with 3/32-4/32 remaining.
