on the General Altimax HP (30k miles)this morinng I thought it might be a good idea to pick up a new set of tires. Has anyone had experiecnce with the TT or have an alternate favorite they would reccomend?

The triple treads from what ive seen take on some edge wear as well , but doesn't help when people underinflate and dont rotate.

Sorry for the double post but wanted to mention a decent tire in 205-55-16 that ive had exp with.

Dunlop fierce instinct. I put a set in my moms bmw a while back when she owned it and they did well. The sidewall has a flame design on it as well and looks pretty good.

Don`t buy Goodwear Triple thread tires. I has them on my 01 outback about 6 years ago and the belts went after 35K. The car sounded like a helicoter and they suck in snow.

+1 on getting alignment before eating up nice new tires, too.
