Mucking around on TireRack.com - Greg the dogsitter - 02-07-2007

M A V I C's thread brought me there.

^ hope that works ^

I assumed (wrongly?) that "Ultra High Performance All-Season" tires would cost more than "High Performance All-Season", but that's not so? Is that strange?

The question remains, though.

From the URL, it looks like you're comparing AVON something with B F Goodrich something.

$$ for rubber compound wear formulations seemed to be the cost factor last time I was comparing tires.

I want some cookies.

I get it now when you buy hundreds of dollars of tires they give a few cookies making the deal unbeatable.

Without knowing what car you chose and the basic category, nobody has a chance to figure what the frack you are talking about. Big Grin

Honestly, I would agree that would be a reasonable expectation until one finds that's not the case. :-)


Edit: BTW, your session has timed out.

Righto.

This'd be for my 2000 Civic Si.

The Kumho ECSTA ASX are only $60, and come with high ratings. They're classified as Ultra High Performance All-Season tires.

Then there's the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S, $125 each, with ratings that are a smidge better, and those're classified as High Performance All-Season.

What's the difference? I understand some pricing spread, but twice as much?

And I'm going to sleep now. No need to answer immediately. :-)
