That makes about as much sense as you never buying another new car because of your dealer issues and all new cars are sold from dealers.
I dont honestly care if you go buy some 31.99 ohatsu tires. I do find your constant flopping and backtracking to be a painful read. Of course I should be used to that by now since I dont ever recall you taking anyones advice here ever.
You post up questions then go off and do whatever tangent then wonder when you have issues.
Anyway I'm done after this post so go ahead and get the last word in. I hope you enjoy whatever tires you decide on. No one scratches up your wheels while mounting them and you have a 100% troublefree experience
That doesn't spawn 6 follow up threads about the same tires.
Cheers,
Edit here are some shipped prices (after rebates)
from DTD sale
Cooper CS3 Touring 149$/4
Cooper CS5 UltraTouring 181$/4
General Altimax RT43 T rated 139$/4

You know, if you were willing to step up to the larger standard width tires you could get the Michelin Pilot A/S3's..... Which are better than anything you are currently considering.

But are they gonna dry rot like his previous Michelins?

I don't think he's ever owned Michelin tires, he said:

Which means he is observing this on other people's vehicles. I also doubt he was checking the date codes on them. This (dry rot) is something I've never had an issue with (and I've owned a lot of Michelin tires), nor has any member of my entire family, and we use Michelin almost exclusively due to our experience with them.

Oops, I clicked on the wrong thread. I meant to click on Tdbo's thread and ended up here, thought you were recommending a Michelin tire after his dry rotted to where he hasn't driven the van in a month.

Curious as to what you were doing on the vehicle to be observing its tires so closely and checking the date codes. Generally that's not something mechanics look at unless it is majorly visible or there's an issue reported by the customer.
Anyways, this has never been an issue for me, but there have been others that have had the issue on this board so I know it isn't just Internet Mythology at work. I generally buy LTX's or Pilot's, so perhaps that a contributing factor
Anyways, that doesn't change my point however which is that if you step up to the slightly wider OEM size available in your rim diameter you can get the Pilot A/S3's, which are absolutely freakin' fantastic tires.

Yeah I think for Michelins you need to live in the right climate. The Michelin Cross Terrains on the 2002 Trailblazer were fantastic, loved those tires. They were the quietest tires ever and butter smooth, but after 3 years they were too cracked for me to feel safe in.

It was a rotate and front brakes and i looked purely out of curiosity. For my own knowledge
