          I had two Kelley Chargers on the back of my VW for a while, then they moved to the front. Cost me $120 for the pair, mounted, balanced, and disposal of the old tires. When I junked that car, the tires were 4 years old, must've had 60k or more on them and they were still in great shape. The BFG T/A touring tires I had on the other axle (freebies) lasted maybe 30k before they were bald.

            Ditto for the Yokohama Avid S/T's Looks damn good mounted with the black letters showing with black steelies. And has great traction but I havent driven on them enough to know about wear.

                In my experience, Goodyears are worth every penny of extra money. Never had any good luck with Michelins.
