Tires, need near immediate response
Teg, 01 LS hatchback, needs new tires. The Michelin's aren't cutting it, and they're horrid in winter (live in IA). I've found cooper lifeliner SLE's and a set of Goodrich Traction T/A V's for about the same price. If anyone has any tire experiance (stock tires, 195/55/15's) or advise pls post. I have to know by noon today CST. Thanks

If you must have tyres today, you're probably stuck with what you have there.
However, if you have time to wait a couple of days for the shipping, go to http://www.vulcantire.com and get a set of Falken Ziex 512 in size 205-50-15.
You'll spend less money and get a much better tyre.
You'll be surprised how well they handle in the dry for a design that's also so good in the wet winter.

It's for snow and wet winters. Thanks for the responses. I'm going with a set of Cooper 195/55's. I figure a 70,000 mile warranty, people around here who own them and love them, 1/2 off 4 wheel alignment, and free rotation for the life of the tires isn't bad. Out the door < $400.
