[DMCForum] Re: New tire choice



I guess I'll add my 0.02 :
I've had Firestones on other vehicles (two times) and they were 
notorious for balancing problems. Belts shifting, vibration... Once 
they'd get them balanced it would be ok for about 200 miles - then 
be out of balance again.  I've never had any of the horror stories 
that Firestone has become "newsworthy" for; but I wouldn't own 
another pair...they're way too much maintenance.

I have Yoko's on my D now. So far, they have been good tires at a 
decent price. They were tricky to find, though. The Yoko's had 
replaced some worn Eagles...which had given me no problems either 
(the tread life could have been better - but hey.)
