Consumer Reports November 2003 Tire Report

Does anyone have a copy of this magazine and could tell me what tires they recommend?

My local library has people rip the pages out and leave the skeleton of the magazine at the shelves. I went to the bookstore and it was sold out!

I can try another library, etc. but figured if someone had a copy, they could send me the info to snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com. If they have any attachments, please email me to tell me BEFORE sending attachments to my hotmail address. I will be happy to provide an alternate address for attachment delivery.

Regards,

Car Guy

It depends upon your vehicle type and intended use. For cars, Michellin makes the best overall normal tires(ie - not racing or high-speed). For trucks, BF Goodrich is in the top 3. It's pretty hard to beat the all-terrain T/A for reliability and decent off-road results.

I didn't read any of the other responses but have a suggestion. Sign up at Consumerreports.org for an online subscription. That what i have. You have access to the current month issue and tons of previous stuff.

It's available at most public libraries. Your hard earned tax dollars at work. Make use of it.

From CR Online -

QUICK PICKS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance all-season tires

Best for most; fine grip with comfort:

1 Falken $60 (sport)

2 Bridgestone $100 (touring) The Falken (1) emphasizes braking and ride, the Bridgestone (2) handling.

If fuel mileage is a priority:

6 Michelin $120 (touring) This model is among the lowest for rolling resistance, but it?s pricey.

If winter driving isn?t a factor, or you own a set of winter tires:

3 Bridgestone $85 (sport) It offers the best three-season grip in this category.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ultra-high-performance tires

Best for most; a well-rounded choice:

19 Goodyear $135

20 Toyo $190

Both models offer the best blend of wet and dry performance. Paying more for the Toyo (20) buys you better handling.

If ride comfort is critical:

21 Continental $170 It provides a smooth and quiet ride for this group.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good choices for other tires

All-season tires:

Kelly Navigator Platinum TE $75

Pirelli P400 Touring $60

Winter tires:

Dunlop SP Winter Sport M2 $120 (H-rated)

Kumho I?zen Stud KW-11 $55 (Q-rated)

SUV and pickup tires:

Toyo M410 Open Country Radial $90 (all-season)

Dayton Timberline A/T $65 (all-terrain)
