Getting close for new tires

[Charmer383]

they don't have a release date in the USA as far as I know. from another site someone called michelin last month and was told there is no timeline set so could be a year from now could be longer..apparently when the CC2 was released the US got it about a year after it was released so hard to say. I know at the rate my CC2's are wearing it won't matter for me because in the year and 14000 miles since I have had the CC2's they still have 9/32" and they start at 10/32.

I def. want something with good tread wear. I'm in Western PA so we do get snow here but varies in amount. If I'm off monday I'm going to go around in person and see pricing. Need inspection done this month also but I've been looking at trades. I'm all over the place lol

Got another set of the Conti LX25's late August. Was happy with the first set. There were rebates on the Conti LX25's and the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3. Based on my research I didn't think I found enough difference to go with the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3 and the Conti LX25's had a better price at the time as well. Was at Discount Tire.

well if thinking of trading in no better time than before you need tires and the registration is due

In Nebraska, the registration gets pro-rated next time you go in.

Inspection, not registration for me.
I've been searching for few days now. Wife and I both are ready for something new. Best interest rate I can find is 4.25%.

what are you looking at as far as vehicles?

 

[Charmer383]

We have looked at:
Genesis GV70
KIA Sportage Hybrid
Hyundai Tuscon Limited Hybrid
Maserati Levante
Audi SQ5 Sportback

Some are new some are 22-24' models

Genesis GV70

Wouldn't even consider it.

KIA Sportage Hybrid
Hyundai Tuscon Limited Hybrid

My 2nd pick was the Tuscon but both of these were crossed off my list due to not preferring the build, quirks about the designs, or the floatier ride.

Audi SQ5 Sportback

I would be interested in Audi for their designs, but not for the price or the maintenance.

I am also starring at Audi Q5 lately...

Is Mazda a cheap Audi, or is Audi an expensive Mazda?

We could open another thread maybe. But in terms of tires no difference.

Read some bad things about engine failures.

And those don’t apply to its down-market cousins?

I have Continental Cross Contact LX25s. Before long I'm going to have to replace them. Been happy with them. Is this still the way to go? I always like to check in and see if there's a better option. I'm seeing the Michelin Cross-Climate 2 on cars a lot. But I think the treadware isn't as good is it and pricier?

I'm in the NW of Metro Denver. '16.5 GT.

Thats the same ones I just put on my CX5 and I love them. If you are happy with those stick with them as I am very happy with their performance so far...

What engine failures with the genesis 2.5t or the 3.5L 6?

If I recall the tread depths on my CC LX25's were 12/16 when new.

I would 100% disagree with that. I am at over 14000 miles on my CC2's and 1/32" wear..they are coming up on a year old and I have forgotten the price I paid for them as they have done so well. I do a lot of higher speed long distance driving and they have been great so far. the LX25 in the same size for car starts with the same 10/32".
