I've got about 4/32nd's left on my tires and I read that in the snow belt you should have at least 6/32 on the tires during the winter. But what gets me is that these Michelins come new with only about 11/32. So given that I can only really use them for a few years until 5 of those 32nd's are gone puts a bitter taste in my mouth. Also to add insult to injury the Michelin Cross Terrains are still high at about $185 a piece. This is even with a $70 REBATE at Costco. However on TireRack.com owners give the Cross Terrains good reviews and Michelin is consistently given praise due to the fact their tires last into the 80-100k mile range which sounds good but dunno how soon they wear to that 6/32 level.
since I am looking for another set( same brand if worth it) i am having a hard time with all the choices. Just wondering what you think I should go with. I don't do any off road and certainly want good fuel economy but yet able to tow 5k. So my options are to go with highway All Season tires and stay away from All Terrain. I would like to keep the price lower at around $600 for the 4. I appreciate any comments you might have.
Tire size is 245/65 17
