Goodyear Assurance TripleTred - thoughts?
« on: April 17, 2005, 12:40:58 pm »
I'm interested in replacing my OE tires (Pirelli P6 All Seasons) with the TripleTreds.  They're getting rave reviews at Tirerack but I was wondering what you guys thought about them.  The lowest price I've seen is about $130 each (205/55R16).  Can they be had for less?

Personally, I wouldn't mount ANY tire made by Goodyear on any car of mine.  I know people rant about their performance tires, but they installed many OE tires on MB models, and all were junk.  Many late model MB owners fixed driving problems by tossing their Goodyear tires.

There are many good "budget" brands that seem to have a much better reputation for quality.  That size offers an amazing range of tires, so you should be able to find a quality tire for that price, maybe less.
