My Previa has 250k on it and needs new tires. The last set Pirelis lasted 100k over 4yrs. I don't know if I'll keep it for another 100k....so here is my dilemma.
I'm deciding between the same Pirelis (80K warr) and a cheap set of FISK tires (45K warr). The price difference is about 200.
Which should I get? I leaning toward the Pirelis, but my wife doesn't want to spend the extra $$.

I just went through a similar dilemma for my other car. I ended up with middle of the road tires versus tires which got very high reviews so I could have an extra $200. We'll see in a while if I made the right decision.

Try Costco to see what they have. You might find a better name brand tire for around the same price. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

What? Dick wasn't accurate? Britany Spears sounds British though, right? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
