Tires..'05 Vue

[Homer]

2005 Vue, V6, Auto, FWD, 26k Miles, 16" Dualers:
Tires are already getting kinda tired. Seems like not very much mileage for tires to need replaced but that is the way it is I guess.

My question is, what do you folks suggest for a replacement. I am in San Diego and have ZERO intention of ever seeing snow except on a Christmas card. Mostly freeway driving. My main thing is quiet ride and long mileage with good warranty.

Thanks for any suggestions.

First place you should look is http://www.tirerack.com

Professional and user reviews on an obscene number of tires and a nice list of what will fit your vehicle.

I asked the same question some months ago. It was in reference to noise in the car. When I drive it, I feel I hear every bump on the road. Fortunately, I don't have to drive it much, because my Avalanche is MUCH quieter. (And it was about the same price!)

IIRC, someone mentioned a very different set of tires. The stock ones were supposed to be crap. My wife's '05 Vue has 24,000 miles and one set of tires is already somewhat bald.

I'm in LA, so won't ever see snow either - except in the mountains, when I drive the AV.
