    Default Tire Time

    Looking for some quick advise on tires. I can get a set of Mastercraft Avenger Touring LSR for $368 installed. Any of you folks have any experience with those?

    I've been running Michelin Symmetry on the car for the last 38,000MI and they've been awesome, but they're completely worn out and a new set of symmetry will be $523, so if there's not a while lot of difference in the performance, I'd prefer to save the $155 and get the Mastercraft.

    Opinions/experiences appreciated.

    Are you serious? What the hell is a Mastercraft?

    ESPECIALLY if you can get equivalent Michelins for a less than $200 price difference.

    Tires are NOT the place to save money. Cheap out on everything else, but always use however much money you need to in order to get the best tires.

    I wouldn't even trust Cooper, much less some spin-off.

    Yeah, why does France fail in ALL forms of engineering except for automotive? It's like that's the one and only class available in their engineering school
