The Goodrich tires that came with my '03 Mountaineer will be gone soon as the vehicle approaches 30,000 miles. That's not bad here in the up and down, stop and go hills of Pittsburgh, but not great either.
I am curious about the Michelin model tires. Seems to me that there are different models of Michelin tires. I had some from NTB on my old '99 Explorer and they still have tread at almost 50,000 miles (I sold it to a friend). What are the Michelin choices for THIS vehicle...NTB says the tire I had for my old Explorer is not made in the 17 inch size for this vehicle. Or should I just buy 3 more Goodrich tires (plus the "free" spare) for about $300 versus probably double that for 4 Michelin.
I noticed that some (but not all) of the new '04 Mountaineers have Michelin Cross-Terrain tires. A friend bot some other Michelin make for his Mercedes SUV. Help me understand the choices.
