Tire Questions
Eventually, I will need to purchase a new set of tires, and I'm curious to see what the current thinking is on tire purchases. When I make the purchase, I'm looking for the best "bang for the buck," not the cheapest tires that I can find.
Assuming that I drive the car a lot and dry rot does not become an issue, how many miles should I expect to get out of a new set of tires?
Does one brand tend to last better than another?
Does one brand tend to install easier than another?
Does one brand tend to ride more quietly than another? (I don't think my current set of tires is balanced at all, but I don't notice any tire vibrations.)
In particular, are there any brands to avoid?
Is wheel balancing an issue more so with one brand than another?
Are there any other considerations to make when purchasing tires?
