So today I was going to do some vehicle maintenance, so I jack up the envoy to drain the oil and I notice some uneven wear on the tires. And I'm like well shit I'm getting tires soon, and then I started looking real close rolling the tires around and Bam on the inside edge , a bare spot about three inches long with the cords showing. Holy shit that's a little scary , I am going on a trip in a couple of weeks . About 1200 miles round-trip, so I decide to go ahead and finish the suspension upgrade i started a while back. All i lack was the front struts...... holy f..k this has sucked. I'm going to get new tires this week ( probably nitto, or ???? ) and an alignment.

I'm curious what brand tires you guys and gals like, and why. Annie please help..:hug:

I've changed plenty of struts before, but this morning working in the hot sun really sucked. Mostly because I removed some shit that I didn't need to and made it harder than it needs to be. Well after struggling with the passenger side, I took a long break and when back to finish after the shade had moved over , I quickly realized some of my earlier mistakes. The drivers side only took about thirty minutes, but as I was getting the DS out of the box I noticed that they had suppled spring buckets which I left off the ps . So guess what...yap... you guessed it , I had to redo the PS but this time it only took 10 minutes.
Now it's beers, beers and more beers.

LOL My best tip for keeping the tires aligned is never let your husband drive your car, sigh. As for tire brands, I give up. I've gotten the same brand twice in a row. Once lasted forever and the second set didn't even make it 1/2 as long. So I have no clue.

@Indagrow might have a far more informed opinion about tires though.
