Re: Let's talk about cars
OK, if this thread is going to move into tyres, I'm looking for a recommendation....I've got a 2012 F150 that is going to need new tyres pretty soon. Currently has the original Pirelli Scorpion STR on it, which have lasted a touch shy of 30,000 miles. Don't need off-road capability, all mileage is town/highway, and about 20% is towing.
Any recommendations for the new tyres?

Hankook, Kuhmo, Sumito, Yokohama and for the budget, Fuzion have all been good in the past for the family.
Hankook and Fuzion were a little noisy though, especially in the wet.
Not that you're looking for tyres good on the white stuff, but Nokian are the best ones around.

library might have a subscription? Ours has a digital subscription you can get on your kindle/mobile device, but you've then got to grab it from Zinio, who make a awesomely bad app :/

Do not get Coopers, they are a big stinking bag of wank.

retzie that's a nice Miata!
For road tires I really like my Michelin Primacy MXV4, picked them up on tirerack, but if you tow you may want a LT tire instead of a car tire.
Speaking of snow tires, I need to get my studs on the big 03 - it done snowed!
