Tire Recommendations
Time to put new rubber on the wife's TS, looking for some suggestions. All seasons, we have dedicated snows for the Coquihalla & Hope Princeton winter trips tho'.
205x55x16 Don't need high performance (hey, its a TS ) but want something to handle the daily commute and the highway trips, along with an ocassional gravel logging road. Tire dealers have suggested Falken ZE 512, Nokian I3, Kumho KH16, Bridgestone G009 and Toyo Proxis 4V. Any comments/suggestions on these? Oh, and a couple of dealers are suggesting a "4 wheel wheel alignment" at the same time. Huh ?? Thanks.

Falkens are good choice, they're cheap and good tire. Can't go wrong with them.
And whoever suggested "4 wheel alignment" is smoking some crack since i've never heard of "2 wheel alignment". You always do all 4 wheels and it's just called "alignment" If your tires don't show any signifficant wear on one side and the car doesn't pull to any side, you don't have to do it. |
