Anyone Know About Tires? HELP!

[aclark]

Well my wife was in an accident on Friday, and while the repairs are being done we are being told we need to replace the tire(s). I'm looking to replace 2 right now, and then another 2 sometime this fall/winter. I'm looking on Tirerack.com and have done a bit of research and THINK I am liking these.

She has a 2010 Nissian Rogue S (I think its AWD)

The Yokohama AVID TRZs (now discontinued) got good reviews, and from what I can tell the Touring-S have pretty good reviews too. The price is nice, and I don't think anything can be worse than the Conteinental 4x4 Contacts that it came with.

Thanks

Oh yea...wife is fine, just a little sore.

I've got Yokohama's on my Trailblazer...Dunno what model or anything, but they've performed well for me in snow, rain, and dry weather.

Find out for sure if it is AWD, if it is, replace all 4 at the same time ONLY! Different diameter tires (2 new, 2 worn) will wreak havoc on any AWD vehicle, vibration, transfer case noise, sometimes really really bad issues. If its 2wd or selectable 4wd you'll be fine.

 

[darkkevin]

Oh, and the Yokohama's you're looking at see decent, WAY better than the conti's that usually last 20k miles.

This^^^^^^. AWD vehicles need the EXACT same size tire. I've had AWD vehicles come through our shop with different tread depths and it would keep flashing the traction or ABS light. As far as brand goes, I've had good luck with BFG, Dunlop, Goodyear. Good luck!

Take the vehicle to Discount Tire. I have purchased my last six sets of tires from them as well as three sets of wheels at the one in Merrillville.

Yokohamas are always good to go.

I agree with take it to discount, I have always gotten the best prices there. If you talk to them and ask for a better price they almost always will knock some off the top, I got $25 off each last time I bought. Also if there is any life left in your old tires they will buy them from you to sell as used.

+1 for continentals, and most places will price match tire rack.

Goodyear, high price, low quality.

The above statement about AWD is correct! I tow at least two cars a month with bad drivelines and mismatched tires.

For a family crossover such as the Nissan rouge I strongly suggest the Michelin latitude. You will be extremely happy with the ride and noise of the tires for a family vehicle. They do cost a little more but are worth the extra dollar. You will have great ride, quite ride, good all year round performance and best of all they will last you a long time.

If you want to save a little money go with the continental contripro.

And yes always do 4 tires not two.

I have those Yokohamas on my 2010 Lancer, it hasn't seen snow yet, but they do great in the rain.

another option is to go to a SAM's club. I bought Michelin for a Prius. you get free rotation for the life of the tires and if there are any problems they can be taken care of anywhere in the country.

Discount Tire has always been good to me on my vehicles. I go to the one on 31S in Greenwood. As far as brands, stay away from Goodyear and Continentals. BFG, Yoko, and Cooper Tires are all good mid level brands, but Michelins are awesome if you can afford them.

 

[aclark]

Just stopped by Discount Tire and checked on what they had. They had the Yoko's but he was steering me to the BF Goodrich LongTrail T/A. Said he could do $500 OTD and that was with warranty, lifetime rotation/balancing, patches, etc. This was for just the tires since I will be taking them to the collision shop for mounting, balancing, and alignment. Thought that was pretty good. They are made by Michelin, so he says.

I agree with all these statements!

I run yokohamas on all 3 of my trucks/suv The oldest set has aroun 80k on them and they were warrantied for 60k. They still have another 6-12 months of life on them easily.

For those that dont know, here is what the tire size means/decoded.

LT=Light truck rated P=passenger vehicle (do not use P rated tires on a truck that you tow with) The P rated are rated for less weight per each tire vs. the same size LT rated tire.

Example P265/70R16
265 means the tire footprint or width is 265mm
70 means the tire profile or distand from the outside of the rim to the outside of the tire is 70% of 265mm or 186mm rounded
R16 means its a radial 16" tire.
25.4 mm in a inch

How many miles did the Roque have? My fiance is above 41k on her 09 Roque so I figure tires will be coming up at some point in the next year or so.

Aclark, Sams sells BF Goodrich , price check them before you buy.
