For forty years I have bought Michelin for almost everything.

Starting to second guess their quality control. Last three sets I installed were not as round as what I have expected from them.

I like Continental for quality control, but I don't see where they have a Load range E tire in a highway tread.
I would stick with the Michelin's

----I have Michelin's on my 3/4 Suburban which is more or less set up for very heavy towing (11,000 lb boat). I specified a quiet tire as there are so many yahoo's here in Michigan that tire dealers expect everyone that comes in the door to want "rock climbers". Am very happy with the ones I ended up with. If you need to I'll get the numbers for you, Lynn.....Bill S

WOW, tires have gotten expensive !! I run E's on my summer wheels and will need to replace them next year. Looks like I need to figure at LEAST $1,000-1,200. I don't recall what the tires on it now cost but it wasn't near that much. I live near a Tire Rack DC and get a $15 per tire discount for picking them up there.
