Hey guys,
I'm a little frustrated because the Yokohama YK580s that I loved so much in the beginning have about 5k miles left on them and that will only be 31k miles total. They have a 60k mile treadwear warranty, so I'll get about 50% credit on them, but the fact that my OEM tires were replaced at 26k miles and now there are 't lasting much longer.
Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what to buy next because I hated the Bridgestone tires that came on it new. I like the performance of the Yokohamas, they made it quieter, smoother and didn't compromise handling at all. But if they're only gonna last 30k milles or so, I don't want them again.
There aren't a ton of options for those of us with the GT which has 20" wheels. The Michelin Premier LTX has a very high treadwear grade (620) and they're great tires by all accounts. They cost about $230 more per set than the Yokos ($1045 out the door minus the credit of approx $400 on the Yokos, but I'm wondering if they might be worth it?
Anyone have any experience or know anything about these Michelins?
thanks!
