Looking for a new set of summer tires for the wifes car. She has an extra set of wheels and winter tires for the snow.
Commute is about 8 miles total. Pavement the entire way. Drives down a winding creek road, then hits the freeway for a few miles, and finally a little stop and go driving in town.
Car is a 2009 Ford Focus. These have known issues with the alignment going out and chewing up tires FAST. Factory tires also seem to be junk and wear out fast.
Not spirited driving or auto cross or anything silly like that.
Not much rain in our area. When the snow falls the summer tires come off and the winter tires go on.
Seems to be a semi difficult tire size to find many offerings. Once again its 215/45/17s.
Looking at the Firestone Champion HRs due to buy 3 get 1 free promotion right now.
Thoughts?
