The ones on the car now are Good Year Eagle LS tires and they only have a 40,000 miles warranty and they cost a total of $50 more dollars out the door. That doesn't make no sense so I will get the Michelin Defender tires because they will last twice as long and they are cheaper then the ones on there. That makes more sense right!!!

I really loved the Michelin Defenders on my Kia.
I can't wait until I get a bit more money in so I can get those on Pearl.
They gave me better gas mileage and the ride was definitely improved dramatically. ^.^
