    GT Radial Champiro 128

    I'm only at 2500 miles but am already looking for when the time comes to replace the Enasaves. I personally have no gripes about them but will likely not use them again due to the price of them. I expect 20-30k out of the Enasaves. This may be the replacement when they go.

    460-A-A treadwear rating
    60,000 mile warranty

    From my experience, GT Radial Champiro (or Runway Enduro) are excellent tires. I believe Michelin owns a stake in Giti Tire. Reputable company.

    Federal apparently makes a tire in our size as well. Pretty cheap!

    I am hoping my Dunlops last until Black Friday. Some pretty damned good tire deals on Black Friday.

    Don't post about any sort of Chinese tires on certain websites - you get crucified for that!

    I put a set of GT Radial Adventuro AT3s on my father's pickup earlier this year. They seem to be a great tire - to the point that I don't think we are going to bother with its winter tires this year! I also ordered a set of the IcePro for my focus this winter. The studded winterforce dug too many parking lots out. Got the Icepro for $38.25 after rebates - with free shipping.

    They seem to be one of the better "knockoff" tire companies.

    I ran Yokohamas on my old Mirage, I'm running Bridgestone Potenzas right now... They're a pretty good tyre that's for sure but its Bridgestone, so I expect great tyres from them....

    I have the OEM Yokohama Geolanders on my wife's Subaru Forester and have no complaints. I had Yokohama Avid Tourings on my 2002 Accent and they were pretty good tires. Yokohama does not make a 165/65-14 tire for the Mirage here in the States. The Bridgestone Potenza RE92 is almost as expensive as the Enasave and has an even worse treadwear rating (260 A B) They also got horrid reviews on TireRack across the board.
