They do last a long time but you pay more for them.-I will be replacing them soon, and I am looking at so me new tires from Dresser. They are less than half the price of the Micheli ns so-it will be an experiment. Michelins are great tires, put them on an d forget about them. - Greg- - In a message dated 6/6/2012 12:31:35 P.M.

I have 5x5 on the mains and tried di fferent brand tires to see what lasts the longest. I haven't tried the Mich elin yet because of the cost and was wondering if anyone else has. At this point it's worth it to pay more if I don't have to change them so often. An y experience with these tires? - Thanks, Barry Norman 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D ulsar-List"' href='mip://0b8e45d0/3D"http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?P ulsar-List"'>http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pulsar-List 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D ='mip://0b8e45d0/3D"http://forums.matronics.com"'>http://forums.matronics .com 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D n"' href='mip://0b8e45d0/3D"http://www.matronics.com/contribution"'>http: //www.matronics.com/contribution 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D el=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pulsar-Lis t et=_blank>http://forums.matronics.com llow target=_blank>http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pulsar-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pulsar-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pulsar-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pulsar-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
