Tire decision, Michelin, BFG, or Kumho
After 8 years, it's time to replace my 245-70R-19.5 tires. I got these prices from a reputable local store. They are all out the door including balance and new valve stems. Michelin.................

Who buys tires based on price alone....:h:h..
My family's safety is my first concern. I'm interested in buying the best rated, best quality tire I can find. I could care less about the cost.
My research showed Michelin and Goodyear had better quality control, testing and compounds than any of the other brands so that's what I run...Michelins on the front, Goodyears on the drive and tag axles....your perception may be different....good luck..
IMHO, only fools buy tires buy based on price alone......Dennis
Thank you for calling me a fool...because I openly admit that I price the living CRA* out of tire prices when shopping. I dont buy the lowest cost out on the market but I sure do price them to death. And IMHO people that BLINDLY buy Michelins because "they are the best" are the fools in the buying game.
There are other brands available that are JUST AS GOOD as the Mich's at lots less $$. Not that Mich's are bad...or junk or anything...because they arent...Mich makes a great tire. In lots of cases almost 200% OVERPRICED....but quality-wise a good tire.
