"RICK GEISSLER: Hi, I'm Rick Geissler, expertvillage.com, coming to you from A & R Tire, talking about how to buy tires. A good tire for the road is a nice touring tire, in most cases for most cars. It's going to give you good highway mileage, a very low road resistant--road noise, rolling resistance gives you better fuel mileage and has a nice, quiet, smooth drive. So we look at most of your touring tires and we push that. If someone's commuting everyday for 30-40 miles, you're not trying to race 100 mile an hour down the highways, or doing a lot of mountain driving, we always recommend for a dry summer tire, it would be a touring tire. When you're driving, not all tires are going to bring you comfort and quiet rides. Again, it depends on the quality of the manufacturers. And all manufacturers build economy tires and midrange and premium tires so they can get all segments of the consumer market. But when you're looking at your premium products, it's always--you'll always going to know that that manufacturer is trying to keep that customer satisfied by giving them a low decibel rating, keeping that tire nice and quiet, smooth ride. If you're driving your new Lincoln or new Cadillac, of course, you want that thing to be as quiet as possible and as smooth as possible. If you're driving your, you know, economy car, your 10-year-old Nissan Altima, of course, you may not be willing to pay that $50 or $60 extra for those benefits."
