Toyo Tires?
Mike I too replaced all my tires shortly after purchasing my BB. I was able
to save a few bucks. I wanted Michelin steers but didn't want to pay the
premium price for the same brand on the back. For the drives and tags I
chose BF Goodrich, a Michelin subsidary, and saved at least the price of a
tire. I chose Michelin because I kept hearing that the roundest tire you can
buy is a Michelin. I didn't want any of the trouble I had heard others
having with poor handling, shaking, poor tracking etc etc. My choice has
proven to be fine so far (2 years). Three or four more years and I will be
replacing them and will let you know how they did. Whatever brand you select
I would suggest that you can save money in the same fashion as I. Also you
might consider saving another few bucks by not bothering to balance the rear
tires. Worked for me.
