| What tires did you choose to replace your Pilot's original tires? |

| Triple Treads mostly because I couldn't pass up the deal and I loved catching Sears on their mistake. I probably would have chosen a less expensive tire or one that wasn't all weather had I not found this deal. |

Will probably replace the Integritys with Kumho Ecsta STX when I finally run the OEM's into the ground. I have 33.5 thousand miles at 2 1/2 years old and they look like new:(
I will have Discount Tire mount a 255/65 R16 just to check fitment and clearance issues. That appears to me to be the best size for the stock wheel. Cost will be about $115 each.
Just for grins, I looked at the largest tire from that manufacturer.........................................................
325/35R28 28!!!!!!!!!!!!! $2350 each |

| Just put on a set of Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenzas for the winter months. Just took off the Falken/Toyo combo and I have to say Suzie's looking a little funny. Plus side is they handle great and are quiet. Since GY is on strike I had to go with #2 on Tire Rack's list cuz I couldn't find anyone with a full set -- no regrets. |

It's December 28th! It's time to Bump!
30 more days until this poll is closed. Cast your vote to help make the tire replacement buying decision a little easier.
:D |

| I'm getting General Grabber AT2's for my wife's Pilot for winter tires. I have them on my Element and they are amazing in the snow. |

| unless you add the Bridgestone Alenza or Pirelli STR, this poll is invalid!! Both highly rated by TireRack. |

What's so invalid about this?
I put "other" on this poll for you to check and then add what type you bought as you reply. There was only room for 10 subjects. This was meant to represent those tires to replace for original size only. The tires represented here are mostly all-season tires for those typical driving conditions.
Any after market rim/tire size change are not included in this poll. |

I was being somewhat tongue in cheek. However, since you ask. Your list of tires is not really a top ten list of tires per TireRack and Consumer Reports. The Conti's and Yoko's really do not get good reviews based upon my sometimes poor recollection whereas the two I mentioned (Bridgestone Alenza and Pirelli STR) score highly. Those are both All Season OEM sizing.
Given that, "Other" should be for tires that are more towards the bottom of collective lists. So, let the debate begin! Fred |

Point taken. Unfortunately, The Alenza's fall under the Bridgestone Dueler group as a whole, an over-site, probably, but they're still Duelers. Otherwise select other and lets move on. |

jestmaty....curious if the 255/65's fit O.K.? I'm thinking about putting 245/70's on our Pilot. Thanks! |

| I ended up putting 265/70's on the stock pilot wheels. I have the top of the line Pilot. I used General Grabber AT2's, which I also have on my Element EX-P. They fit on the Pilot, but they are VERY close. Probably not a good idea for any off road, but great for snow around town. I'd probably go one size smaller for any off roading. |
