P215/60R15 need 4 new

[FL-400S]

I blew out a tire today...BFG Touring TA (sams club specials). This is the second set on this car that barely lasted 4 years.

Ill probably get Defenders since discount tire has a michelin rebate until saturday...theyll be $506 after rebate...not exactly cheap but Ive had 2 sets before on different cars and like them.

Sears has cooper response touring for ~$360.

I always like the look of General Altimax but never seem to be able to find them in state.

any suggestions?

I just bought General Altimax in the 225 60 16 size on closeout at Tirerack.com $276 for tires and around $60 for shipping. Check them out.

Had the Response Touring on the 03' Corolla before I got an absolute fantastic deal on the CS5 Ultra's. Not even close. The Ultra's are so much, much better. With the deals out there, I would not consider the RT's ever again. The General RT43's are exc. as well. (Have these tires on the Previa.)

I have General Altimax RT43's on my car in the size 215/70/15. Love those tires.

I'm not sure about ordering online...just haul them in to walmart for installation for $17 each? Are the walmart Altimax RT sub-par?

UPS leaves a pile of tires on the porch?

Yokohama are my choice.

I'd not get the Response Touring (RT's) again. Would get the AltiMax's again in a heartbeat. Exc. tire IMO.

yea find a good Indy shop. They came bundled 2 together and were sitting in front of my garage door today. I ordered them on Sunday night.

Not as widely distributed, but my Dad has run Tiger Paws over 70,000 miles on a Camry since 2011. Very quiet too.

the rt43 are much better than the altimax RT but its not a bad tire... just old

 

[FL-400S]

I called a few places and none really stock defenders...most just have the cooper response touring. IS this really a rare size?

 

[FL-400S]

How about the Falken Ziex 912?
