Input on Tires for Non-MS3 Here

[60181]

Hope it's okay to ask fellow MS3'ers here in this section.

Time is coming for new Rubber on our Minivan. Stock she rides on Michelin Energy LX4's in size 235/60/17. OE's have been good. No complaints outside perhaps not the very best in snow, but then I'm not the full time driver and am used to snow tires on my cars.

Anyway, looking at replacements, here's what I've narrowed down to on TireRack comparisons. Would like your input on these and others if you've had good luck with a particular brand/model.

Goodyear Assurance ComforTred
$132.00
from what I've seen are the best so far in terms of performance and value.

Goodyear Eagle LS
$139.00

Michelin Energy LX4 (Original Equipment and on there now)
$148.00

Again, good for OE's and if I stay with them, I can get away with buying two and putting the news on es on the back and rotating the rears forward.

If I go with the others, I'll likely buy all four so the initial investment is a bit more.

Thanks for any input.

It comes down to what is most important for you...

Goodyear Eagle LS will probably have the best handling traits, but perform worse in fuel mileage, wear & comfort.

Goodyear Assurance ComforTred will give up some of that handling for comfort, and have moderately better wear & fuel mileage.

Michelin will have the best comfort, wear & fuel mileage, and probably have equal or worse handling of the Assurance.

Just my opinion, it's worth the extra $16 per tire to stay with the Michelin's.
