    The rule of thumb is that the shorter the sidewall height, the easier it will be to bend a wheel or damage a tire. However, any size tire and/or wheel can be damaged with a hard enough impact. The ride quality is also related to the sidewall height of the tire. The shorter the sidewall the more you will feel the imperfections in the road.

    If you wanted to place your spare into the tire rotation you could purchase three of the OE Michelins (119.00 each) and run them together without any problems. This direction would definitely be less pricey. Just remember to have the best tire placed on the spare rim so that you still have a quality spare if you need it.

    If you are planning to keep the OE 14" wheels than you are fairly limited in optional sizing. I can only recommend two sizes for this vehicle in 14" and they are 185/65/14 and 195/60/14. Between the two i would recommend using the 195/60/14 Kumho Ecsta HP4 716 (40.00 each). They are a low cost tire that still performs at a higher comfort level. The slightly wider tire would also offer a little better handling.

    Would a bigger (15", etc) tire offer anything in the way of comfort or handling or be a better buy? I don't mind going bigger if it is advantageous to the ride.
  • connortirerackconnortirerack Member Posts: 519
    Regrettably the Pirelli P6 Four Season tires does not come with a ride quality guarantee so regrettably it is up to the tire retailer to decide if he wants to return them. Personally i do not think these tires are a very good tire. They do tend to have a hard tread compound with limited wet traction. As for the blowout issue, that is simply a matter of either a defective tire or impact damage. Neither is controllable by the retailer. If a blow out is due to a defect then he is required to assist you with the warranty.
    There are several other tires made in this size. i have include three below in the order i would rate them

    235/45R17 Michelin Pilot Sport AS -- 191.00
    235/45R17 Bridgestone Turanza LS-Z -- 206.00
    235/45R17 Yokohama AVS DB S2 -- 153.00

    Between the BFG g-Force T/A KDW vs. Yoko AVS ES100 for straight line traction, the BF Goodrich would be the better tire. It has larger tread blocks offering more immediate traction . the Yokohama would offer the better cornering but that doesn't seem to be what you are looking for.

    Keep in mind that the Goodyear Comfort Tread is a basic passenger all season tire. it is not designed to perform exceptionally in any particular area. Whereas the Bridgestone Turanza LS-V is designed specifically for ride quality and ride comfort. Between the two, i would recommend using the Bridgestone simply because it is a far better tire overall.

    P225/55R17 Bridgestone Turanza LS-V -- 139.00
    P225/55R17 Goodyear Assurance Comfort Tread -- 109.00

    In reply to your post:

    1) I would recommend using a 205/60/15 for the spring summer and fall. The wider tire would offer slightly better traction and handling.

    2) I would rate the three tires you have listed in the following order. The RE950 will offer the best over all levels of ride quality and performance out of the three tires. The G009 is similar in dry and wet traction but it tends to slightly more road noise and not as good snow traction. The Michelin XGT4 is an older tread design and in my opinion is very similar to the G009 but more expensive.

    205/60R15 BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE950 -- 83.00
    205/60R15 BRIDGESTONE POTENZA G009 -- 61.00
    205/60R15 MICHELIN PILOT XGT H4 -- 89.00

    3) See #2

    Using the guidelines that you gave in your post i would recommend one of the following tires.

    P205/60R16 Kumho ECSTA HP4 716 -- 51.00
    This is a low cost tire that will give you between 35-40,000 miles. The handling is OK but not considered performance oriented.

    205/60R16 Bridgestone Potenza G009 -- 67.00
    This tire will offer a better ride quality as well as better traction and handling. They are rated at 50,000 miles so they will also last longer.

    My best recommendations for your minivan would be in the following order.

    1. 205/70/15 Bridgestone Turanza LS-T -- 73.00
    2. 205/70/15 Michelin Harmony -- 89.00
    3. 205/70/15 Goodyear Assurance Comfortread -- 77.00

    The LS-T would offer the best over all ride quality and comfort level as well as a long tread life.

    Normally this is not a good idea. By going to a taller sidewall and a thinner width you loose structural integrity, especially on a high center of gravity vehicle. The tire will tend to flex more when cornering and will seriously affect the handling. Possibly to the point of being dangerous. I would not recommend doing this.

    Regrettably i cannot help much with this one. The widest white side wall tire we carry has a 5/8" wide stripe. I would recommend one of the following places.

    You would increase the way the vehicle handles by going to 15" or even 16" by you would not help the ride quality. In fact the larger you go in rim size the more you will feel the imperfections in the road.

    Can you recommend a softer tire for a softer ride on a 2003 Toyota Sequioa 2WD? Our Sequoia that we just bought has brand new Kelly Safari tires, and they run like bricks. I didn't notice it that much on the test drive, because the ride in this car was lots nicer than a 4WD that we had just tested earlier that day. But now after a couple weeks, I admit to being a softie. I want a softer ride. I'd like to consider softening the ride if I could with softer tires. Ours is a 2-wheel drive. We have ABS, skid control, and traction control. We do get a bit of snow here in northeastern Ohio, so I guess I need an M&S (mud & snow) tire. But it doesn't have to be terribly aggressive. If it snows too much I can leave the Sequioa parked! My chief concern is a softer ride without compromising on safety. Thanks.

    Hi Conner,
    I have a bone stock '04 WRX wagon and I autocrossed it last year on the stock rims and RE92's. I am looking to upgrade to a competition level "R" tire and would like your recommendations.

    I am considering the "Sport Edition D5" rims size 16x7 w/50mm offset. These rims seem like an exceptional value w/ relatively low weight and costing only $89.00. What do you think? Are there better choices close to that price point?

    After getting tire feedback from others in the stock classes, Kumho seems to be the way to go. I am considering the V710, Victoracer, and the Ecsta V700. First, will the 225/50 R16 size of each of these tires fit the D5 rims?. Is that indeed the best size tire for the rims? Is it possible to go wider or lower profile on the 16/7's. I don't care about keeping the speedometer straight, this will be a track only set-up. Also, assuming that I get the V700's & the Victoracers shaved and all of the three heat-cycled, what would be the major differences in the handling and wear?

    Also, I am considering a brake pad upgrade as well, I would like to be able to take advantage of my new footprint. Any recommendations there? I do want to improve performance over the OEM pads but since this car is my daily driver, I need them to have some longevity as well.

    Thanks for your input,
    Don

    195/55/15 are on my 03LX. 185/60/15 BF Goodrich Traction TA/T are available for $55 compared to $78 for 195/55/15 BF Goodrich Traction TA/V.
    What do you think of substituting the 185/60's? Is this an acceptable substitute?

    Also, how do I arrange for pickup of tires/wheels at South Bend i/o shipment?
  • connortirerackconnortirerack Member Posts: 519
    Do you have the limited or the SR5? Each trim level had two different tires sizes so i would also need to know what size tire you are looking for.

    Conner: I have a 1999 Acura RL with a tire size of 215/60-16. Would there be any advantage or even any disadvantage of me going to a 225/60-16 instead? I know that it will fit, my priorities in a tire are a soft ride, these Michelin MXV4 Plus V-rated tires I now have on, ride too hard for me. What tire do you recommend and do you think I should drop down a speed rating? Thanks, Hoggest.

    I have a 2003 SR5. Now, its tires are Kelly Safari SUV, size:

    P265/70 R16 M&S 111S

    These are by Kelly-Springfield, a subsidiary of Goodyear.

    My owners manual shows these possible sizes:

    P245/70R16
    P265/70R16
    P265/65R17

    I don't know which of these I would like the best. But, I guess I wouldn't want the smaller P245. And I guess I wouldn't want to invest in 17-inch wheels. So, I guess I'd want the only remaining choice -- the same size that I have now: P265/70R16 Does this seem right to you?

    Thanks

    Hi Connor,

    I recently purchased Pirelli STR-A tires for my 2002 Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 LE. I used the original size 245/65/17. I have found that the tires cause vibration (especially in the steering wheel) around 60-65 mph. I have had all 4 tires balanced and this did not eliminate the vibration. I had the installer replace all 4 tires with new ones, and still the vibration exists. Do you have any recommendations or knowledge about some incompatibility issues with Pirelli and my Pathfinder? Are the Pirellis such a harder tire that I am just getting incredible road feedback? Any information would help. Thanks!
  • jipsterjipster Member Posts: 6,244
    Hello, I have a 2004 MPV LX with the OEM Dunlop 17 inch tires. They are a bit to firm for my taste and would like a softer ride. What is you opinion of the Dunlops and what are 3 good replacements. I have heard many say they liked the Michelin Hydroedge...though speed rating is slightly different. Thanks.

    I think it is a bad idea. The smallest size i can recommend for you vehicle would be a 195/55/15 according the Mazda specifications. You would also take away for the handling capabilities of the vehicle by going to a taller narrower tire. Mazda also requires that this vehicle has a minimum of an H speed rating for handling and load capacity issues. The traction T/A T is only T speed rated which means i could not sell it for this car due to liability issues.

    If you wanted to arrange to pick tires up at one of our warehouse you would need to give me a call. Will call orders have to be placed over the phone.

    The original offset for you Honda was 45mm. You don't need a calculator to figure your offset. The offset is the distance from the centerline of the wheel to the mounting face. As an example:
    You have an 15X7" wheel. If you lay the wheel on its face and lay a straight edge across the wheel lip then measure from the straight edge to the mounting face inside the wheel. The distance that you measured is the "back spacing." For example purposes we will say the back spacing is 4.25". if you figure the centerline of the wheel is at 3.5" (7" wide divided in half) if you subtract the center line amount from the back spacing (4.25" - 3.5" = .75"). Your offset is .75". to find this in Millimeters simply multiply .75" by 25.4 and you result is 19.1mm.

    I cannot recommend using a 225/60/16. It is taller and wider than recommended for your car by a Acura. As long as you are sure it would fit, it would be up to you if you wanted to try it on your car. The best i could recommend in a 225/60/16 for ride comfort and ride quality would be the Bridgestone Turanza LS-H which are currently priced at 119.00 each plus shipping.

    The OE Michelin HX MXM4 are not rated very highly for ride quality or traction levels. To meet the characteristics that you mentioned in your post i would recommend using the 225/50R17 Bridgestone Turanza LS-V (144.00 each). The Bridgestone LS-V will offer a better ride quality and comfort.The traction and handling will also improve over the Michelin. Because the tire is with in Acura's 3% spec range your speedometer will still be accurate.

    I would agree with you about upgrading to the 265/70/16 on you Sequoia. The wider and taller tire would offer better handling as well as a softer ride. The tire i would recommend would be the P265/70R16 Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza (118.00 each). This tire will offer the best over all ride quality and they are very highly rated for traction in dry wet and snowy conditions.

    It sounds to me like the tires are not being balanced correctly or there is a problem with the wheels. I cannot remember the last time i heard of a Pirelli tire being out of round or have a defective issue. I would recommend having a road force variation test on the tires and wheels. This will tell you what the actually problem is and how to fix it. It will also let you know if the tire is defective. if you click on the link i have attached below you will go to the "Hunter GSP9700" tire balancer website. In the middle of the page you will see a quick link that states "Locate a shop near you". Click on that and then enter your zip code and you will see all of the shops in your area that can perform a road force variation test.

    The OE tires are the Dunlop Sport 4000 A/S. In My opinion not the greatest tire. Due to the limited availability in the OE size of 215/60/17 i would recommend using a 225/55/17. The 225/55/17 will be slightly wider and the same overall diameter. the added width will offer a little better handling. My best recommendations for your van would be listed below.

    225/55R17 Bridgestone Turanza LS-V -- 139.00
    225/55R17 Michelin Energy MXV4 PLUS -- 148.00
    225/55R17 Michelin Hydroedge -- 131.00
    225/55R17 BF Goodrich Traction T/A -- 75.00

    Hi, Connor. Thnx for previous tire suggestions - am keeping them in mind for future.

    I visited the TR site looking for 16" forged wheels for the Chevy Malibu, and while I found a number of wheels, their descriptions did not identify them as forged or not.

    Any quick suggestions for non-chromed _forged_ wheels?
  • jipsterjipster Member Posts: 6,244
    Thanks for your suggestions in post #816. I visited tirerack.com and it had the Michelin Hydroedge listed as 215/60TR-17 as a best seller. Do they come in different sizes and you are recommending the 225/55R17 because it performs better?
    Also, how does this process work. I order... and the tires are shipped to my address or can they be shipped to the tire store I'm having put them on? The shipping charges are a lot more reasonable than I thought they would be. Thanks.

    Hi Connor,
    I'm wondering if you have an opinion on the Turanza EL-400 tire. This appears to be a new tire and would like to know if you have evaluated it yet?
  • noonystocknoonystock Member Posts: 1
    I have a 2002 Lexus LS430 that came with 225/60R16 Dunlops that were fairly awful, especially in wet or snow. This winter, I had a set of Michelin Arctic Alpins installed (also 225/60R16) and that helped a great deal in the snow. Since there wasn't much life left in the Dunlops, I disposed of them when the snows were installed, with the intent to buy a set of new all season tires in the spring.

    I've done a fair bit of online research and have arrived at two potential choices:

    - Pirelli PZeroNero M+S (225/55R16 -- not available in 225/60R16)
    - Goodyear TripleTred (225/60R16)

    My priorities for the new tires are (in order) quietness, comfort, handling, and decent performance in snow. I would prefer to leave the new tires on all year round instead of installing the snows in the winter.

    Questions:
    - Will either of these tires give me what I'm looking for?
    - Can I use the 225/55R16 Pirelli safely, and what if any consequences are there in deviating from original size 225/60R16? If it matters, the car has a navigation system.
    - Given my objectives, which of these two tires do you recommend for me, or is there another that you'd suggest instead?

    Many thanks,
    Marc

    fwiw, I checked the tire size calculater. You would have to go up to a 245/55 to get the equivalent diameter. 225/55 is about 3.3% off.

    Hi Connor.
    I have a MB C240 and needs replacement tire. As I live in NJ, I want to have all-season tires to avoid replacing them with winter tires when winter comes. Is there anything that you can recommend ? I did some research and sort of narrow down my choices to these 2, but I am not really sure and I want to make the right choices. Please advise.
    1) Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
    2) Yokohama Avid V4S

    [1] Tires fitted with 18- or 17-in. wheels are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires. Tire life may be substantially less than 20,000 miles (GS 300) or 15,000 (GS 430), depending on driving conditions.

    Is that true? I would have thought the bigger the tire, the more miles before it wore out as it doesn't turn as many times as a smaller tire. Confused..... :confuse:

    BTW, thanks Tire Rack for the good deal on my Goodyear Assurance Triple tread tires! They are great tires! :)

    bigger wheels usually = lower profile, which usually means higher performance, all of which = faster wear.

    Hi Steve I would swear I saw a phone number for Conner in one of these posts. I have gone blind trying to find it. I am interested in 2 tires for a 93 BENZ 420 SEL 235 /60 16 HR or VR . I have a shimmy tween 53-59 MPH on one particular road. (PCP)
    Occasionally I get it at lower speeds on one other road 45 thru 55 MPH and it is driving me crazy and prolly not doing the front end any good.
    I have matched Michelins up front and would be willing to replace 2 tires to cure this . When I had one of the back tires (The original and only Pirelli) on the front with one michelin it was hardly noticeable . Could it be the wheel .
    It was balanced in front of my eyes but what do I know ?
    Driving me nuts
    Thx PGP

    I was wondering if someone would be able to explain something to me. I was told that my back two tires on my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder needed to be replaced because there was very little tread left. I was told, however, that I needed to replace all 4 tires "because it is a 4WD vehicle" but it was not really explained as to why that is necessary.

    I mostly use my 4WD in the winter time to be able to gettin up and down my steep driveway; it is not something that is used all the time. I need 265-65-16 tires, which can be pretty spendy and I really don't want to replace all 4 if it is not absolutely necessary. The front 2 tires are still in very good condition.
