I just dropped $1100 on a set of Michelin Tires with a 60K mile rating

This is for my wife's car and I wanted something I would feel good about her driving but damn...I remember the days of $60 tires and this bites. I'm still in that mindset when I go get tires from a real tire place.

For my car, I made the mistake of getting some off brand name called Vercelli. I read the reviews on it and they were supposedly good all season tires but the common complaint was they were loud

JFC, loud is an understatement - people get in the car that ride with me and think I'm driving around in second gear - its a roar.

There is no shortage of cheap chinese brand tires out there. I could get a set of 40K mile rating tires with some crazy name like Lionheart or GMax for about $600 (or Vercelli) out the door. Good enough for me - but its worth the extra $500 for piece of mind. This will be (I hope) the last set of tires I put on this car so its a buy once, cry once situation.

Dag, tires are a serious hit to the pocket book.
