I've heard many things said about many different tires over the years, but I'm sure of one thing: If you take care of them, they will take care of you. All three sets of tires (knock on wood) are doing well...
Kelly Nav Golds- Just turned 30k on them. Still have a good 60-70 percent tread left, and even with mostly city driving, should make the 70k warranty with no issues. No dry rot, and looks good for a 3 year old tire....
Sumitomo HTR 4- For a cheap tire, color me impressed. Have nearly 25k on these, and there looks to be at least 70 percent left, which means these I'll get my money out of these too. Pretty good in dry and rain, okay in snow. I was not expecting much of of these (were cheaper than the kellys). Not bad!
General Altimax RT- only had these for 2k, but I love the way they handle already. Good in light snow, rain, fun in dry!
Wondered if MPGs would go down with these, but it looks to be not the case...one true thing though-under 32 degrees, they turn into rocks...
Just thought I'd share about my tires...that you can make any tire work. I think my success with these tires, even with the fact that there is quite a bit of city driving, is that I rotate these guys like clockwork every 5-5.5k. Seems to be keeping the wear down..(or my grandpa driving!
