Tire Shopping

[freewill2008]

Just shows to go ya that tire experience can be really personal and
not always the best way to know what's hot and what's not.

Starting in 1965, I've put M's on muscle cars, sports cars, light
trucks, the odd bike, and most recently the BB. Only had one failure -
busted the sidewall out of a pickup tire. My fault. The dealer
replaced it anyway. M's are the only tires where I've never
said: "Damn I wish I'd got something else!". And, almost every other
brand I've owned has given me trouble.

But, I'll be the first to say I've had very good luck - and my good
luch is not a good reason for anyone else to buy Michelin's.

I like Jeff's advice: "Buy what you like 'cause you hafta drive 'em
and ride on 'em."
