   I have to back up the other on the Michelins. I had them on my truck here in   
   AZ for around 85,000 miles and changed them out with lots of tread simply   
   because they were 6 years old. Naturally I replaced them with another set of   
   Michelins. You can choose to buy tires that you'll replace more often but   
   you should enjoy the milage, wear and handling of the tires as well. No   
   problems with road noise either.

   While there are other decent tires, I second and third the opinion on   
   Michelins. The world's fastest production cars (Bugatti Veyron, 250MPH   
   +) run only on Michelins. And for typical cars people are only talking   
   about $20-30 difference each between these and many cheap tires. IMO   
   buying cheap tires usually end up more expensive in the long run.
