As I consider trading in my 2004 for an 08 or 09, I've noticed that Michelins were OEM for 2004-2006, and 2007-2009 came with Goodyears.

I see that replacement Goodyears cost significantly more than Michelins, and have a lower treadwear rating.

I'm sure some of you have replaced Michelins with Goodyears or vice versa. What differences have you found?

There are also Pirelli's that are on the "V's". Nice Tires and compound.

Shop them all at Discount Tire for good pricing and real fresh tires.

Aren't these tires 19 inch vs non-V's 18?
