Well I just put a set of 195/65/15RMichelins (Symmetry) on my '98 Altima
from Wal Mart. The cost was $75.00 per tire. These tires are supposed to
be 80 Thousand mile tires. Traction "A" Performance "A" Temperature "B".
You cannot purchase these tires from anyone but Wal Mart. They have an
exclusive on them. The car rides like a heavy car with these tires.
> Do the math:
> Four Yokohama AVS Intermediates, 195/60-14 at $65 ea = $260
> 40,000 miles = approx 3 years of driving
> Approx $0.24 per day
>
> Four "Brand X" specials @ $35 ea = $140
> 60,000 miles = approx 4 years of driving
> Approx $0.09 per day

> Is your car (and your life) worth the extra $0.15 per day? Mine is.
