check back with us in 20,000 miles. I'd be curious to see how your tread
wear is going. i know some good years only last about 25-30,000

With a treadwear rating of 700, it ought to do pretty good. Or are you
saying that Goodyear is a little dishonest with their treadwear ratings?

the noise is quite possibly the crappy roads out here. they have no

for blacktop production so they use sand and seashells.

plus at 174,000 miles my front struts, and mounts are gone. that the

around 450.00 for all 4.
Rob - I've been using the T-rated on my 2 Concordes and my wife's Buick
Century. Surprised to hear that you say they are a little noisy. Cooper
has a bunch of characteristics on each tire with a slider scale, and
"Quiet" is one of the categories. Both the T and H/V rated are shown
with
the "Quiet" slider max'ed out to the right. I'm not doubting what
you're
saying - I was just surprised as I find mine (at least the T rated
ones)
to be extremely quiet after the nightmare I had with hi-perf tires. It
made the noise bearable as the LH cars do amplify tire noise. When I
switched over, the silence was deafening. :)
BTW - it was someone here who originally recommended the Cooper SLE's
(discontinued and replaced by the CS4's) to me 6 or 8 years ago.

After a LOT of reading and talking to folks driving heavy cars (or at
least cars in the ballpark weight as mine), I settled on four Goodyear
Assurance ComforTred P225/60R16 97T S1, valve stems, life-time
balance and rotations. road hazard, and front end alignment for
$505.99 tax included after $40 mail-in rebate. I've been riding on
them for four days... one snow fall included. Very comfortable... firm
grip... I'm pleased.

I appreciate all the help.

Next: rear brakes and finally... new plugs (no wires :-))
