Tire question
Hi All,
Forrester 2006 My mechanic says these are the two quietest P225/50 R16 tires Which one of these would be a quieter tire? Do you guys have a preference? https://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/avid-ascend-lx https://www.michelinman.com/tires/de...ender-t-h.html Any reliability issues with these two (they are not Firestone). Many thanks, -T |

Many thanks, -T T, it's hard for us to make an assessment as we may not own a Forester with either of those two brands. I have had Yokes in the past and they were OK, though if the vehicle sat for more than a day they flat spotted, which IMO would not disqualify them. The Mich's will probably be quieter, but more expensive. Much of road noise issue is determined by the road surface you are driving along. Both are good, a toss up from here... -- Tekkie |

Consumer Reports doesn't have them rated. The highest rated all season tire is Toyo Versado Noir. Supposed to last 75,000 miles. $99 Rated 60 The highest rated sport performance tire is the Goodyear Eagle Sport All Season. Expected thread life 80,000 miles $115 Rated 58 They also rated ultra high performance all season tires. This is the highest rated among those. General G-MAX AS-05 225/50ZR16 Price: $112 Rated 66 but only 65,000 mile projected use |

I remember my father having one rear bearing changed when I was a kid when we had an Oldsmobile station wagon with a boat on a trailer and two adults and 7 kids starting a trip from Detroit to Spokane. Never had one myself. I have rarely had a vehicle with less than 100,000 miles. |
