Tire Thread: Micheling LTX MS/2 or Hankook OPTIMO H724

OK...time for me to get a new set of shoes...my prior General Ameritrac's lasted about 70k.

So here's the lowdown.
Sears is currently having a special on the Michelin's of $135 per tire plus $70 manufacturers rebate. Mounted with lifetime Road Hazard, one time balance, new valve stem...etc. the total comes to $725 before rebate. These are 70k mile tires in theory.

Pep Boys has the Hankooks at $92 per tire...buy three, get the 4th free. Plus the $25 tire package...Lifetime Rotation, Road Hazard, Balance and new valve stems. This comes to about $505 before rebate value of 1 tire. These are 70k mile tires in theory.

To the difference with rebate included is $650 for Michelin's or $415 for the Hankook.

Thoughts????

 

Michelins if you can afford them. I have heard of people getting 80k with ltx ms.

 

You can't go wrong with MS2 Michelins. We have them on my wife's Tahoe with the factory 20" wheels and they are silent, excellent in the rain, and will last. I'm not bashing the Hankooks. They make some good tires, I just don't know anything about the Optimo H724.

 

Thanks for replies...I went with the Michelins.
They ended up being $200 more than the Hankooks....but since they're made in Canada, and are supposed to be an improvement over the original LTX MS...I can only imagine them being worth the difference over 5 years.

Pretty excited for some new shoes!

 

I really like my Michelin MS2's, I belive you will be very happy.
