This last time I went with Michelins that had similar traction ratings to see if I could get more that 30K from them. Otherwise the Michelins are not impressive in ride or noise over the Wranglers.

Be careful!! OE tires are unique beasts - even if they have the same name on the sidewall. They’re designed by the vehicle manufacturer and that frequently results in tires the public doesn’t find acceptable. Wear and traction as the usual issues.

Yes, 600!! Onto 700!!

When do I get my prize for making the 600th post?

From an old Cheech&Chong radio routine, “the next caller wins a blind date with Stevie Wonder”.

The 600th responder wins an all expenses paid week in Tierra del Fuego. The 601st wins two weeks in Tierra del Fuego.

The front doesn’t seem to match the back for some reason. Like two different design groups that finally met. That rear window is like the gremlin and a beast in the hot sun.
