I just got back from the tire shop to get a bid. They stock Bridgstone/Firestone primarily but can order anything I need.
I was quoted 421.00 out the door, which includes allignment on this 50k tire (Firestone FR380) All the reviews I read on it are not good.
Are the reviews I'm seeing typically from those with expections that exceed the sort of tire they have which means it is actually a good tire for what I need? It's going on a minivan which is designed to simply go down the highway in a straight line. I mean, this thing wasn't designed to corner on a dime anway. Or should I be looking for a different tire which has good ratings i.e. BF Goodrich Traction T.A. which will cost me 80-100 more?
