In Reply to: touring tire recommendation, NOT performance posted by Jack Li on January 24, 2001 at 17:37:08:


Can anyone recommend a tire based on the following critera (most important to least):

1) all season - needs good wet handling/braking
2) at least H rated
3) mileage
4) ride noise
5) cost (around $100/tire for 215/55/16)
6) some dry grip would be nice for my occasional drive "to take care of errands"

It's for my mom's 1998 Maxima SE. She does not care about performance, just one with a nice "ride" and mileage. But performance tires are usually better for braking power, as safety is important.

I've heard good things about Yokohama Avid V4, Continental ContiTouring Contact CH95, Bridgestone Turanze H Revo ($$$).
Any experiences?

Thanks,
(Cross-posted, sorry but need info ASAP)

The best for your criteria is the Bridgestone Turanza Revo at 105.00 per tire and then I would go to the Avid V4 and then Conti Ch95. The Revo has the best ride quality and wet traction. The Avid has the best handling. The best cost and mileage would be the CH95 at 75.00 each. If I can help let me know. Thank you
