Decided to get new tires for my 08 EX before I do some traveling. My original Goodyears have about had it. After reading several threads, I hit the streets and got a few quotes - all 225/70/16:
Michelin LTX M/S $750 at local chain
GoodYear Fortera Silent Armor $750
Firestone Destination LE $506 at Tires Plus (buy 3 get 1 free)
Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza $699 at Tires Plus (not including hazard)
Cooper Discoverer $550 at small shop
The guy at Tires Plus also quoted me about $750 on a set of LTX, but was convinced that the Duelers were a better tire due to their "technology" and something about them staying black longer (not fading???).
Anyway, found it kinda tough to make a good decision as everyone seems to have a rather subjective favorite (or they make more money).
I really had my mind set on the Michelins, but ouch.
