We're having our driveway poured with concrete and Carolyn brushed up against one of the form boards and poked a little hole in the sidewall of a rear tire. The Dunlop Ensaves are $148 each from Tire Rack and to be truthful, I've never been in love with Dunlop tires anyway, so I got to searching again
Her tires were the originals that came on the car (made in 2011) so it's no big deal that the tire is ruined - I was going to replace them shortly anyway. I put 2 new front tires on this car a few years back when I hit a chunk of asphalt that fell out of a truck immediately in front of us, causing a blowout, so new rears are all we'll need for now
Anyway, I found these Achilles tires in 175/60R15 from Amazon and they are supposedly rated LRR and for $100 less per tire than the Dunlops, they deserve a chance (in my book) so I ordered a pair. Saved me about $200!!!

If you read the reviews, people seem to like them in the snow, but not so much in the rain or dry. Loud, don't wear well, increased stopping distances, little traction wet or dry - A couple reviewers couldn't wait to get rid of themDougC wrote:Under $42 per tire after rebate, not bad. I hope they are decent tires.
Yeah, but at a quarter of the price of an OEM tire I'm willing to make some sacrifices.Don wrote:I think you get what you pay for when you buy winter tires for everyday use,
