When I'm in my van, I'm on eight tires. Beat that!

My personal preference for tires is Michelin(I agree they are overpriced), I have had 3 sets now of varying design and sizes for different vehicles and all of them have been very good all around tires for our crazy weather here.

I have had Yoko's as OEM tires on a few vehicles and they are good as well but never seem to last as long as the Michelins. The BFG's I have owned(before they were bought by Michelin) were very good as well. I worked in a shop that sold Toyo's and I have always been pleased with the results they produce.

I had the Comfort Treads on our van. Loved 'em. Great in the snow, and much quieter than the OEM tires.

Earlier today I went to the local auto mall and had a browse around...Sunday, no salesman, woo hoo! Anyway, had a look at a number of small cars the most impressive of which(to me) seemed to be the new Hyundai Elantra, a roomy, nicely styled, very economical car and starting at only $16k-ish as well as the new Chevy Cruze also with nice(not as good as the Hyundai imo) styling and a starting price around $17k. If you want the most economical Cruze, the ECO, it's around $20K or more though. Least impressive to me was the Ford Fiesta...$23-24K with a few options, seriously Ford? $3k more than a similarly equipped Civic? wonder how their marketing dep't will spin that one, eh Mike? never mind the paintjobs(fuscha? mus-terd?). I'm seeing a few turbos being added to some of the small domestic engines, I'm not sure how that'll work out based on some of the turbo cars Dodge and Ford tried to bring out a number of years ago. Time will tell, I guess. Mazda 3 looks and sounds like a fun car to own, but to me it appears like they're falling behind in the fuel economy wars with Honda, Hyundai and even Chev and Ford now. Nothing Dodge or Toyota makes in a small car really interest me much, so I never checked them out.
