So you haven't even driven anything on their car line and you're discrediting them based on a few truck tires? Have you used any that weren't OE or all season? Would you discredit all of Chevy because the Cavalier was junk? That Maybach SUV looks atrocious from the back.

Those look so bad. So so so bad.

The Integrity is sold at Walmart for well under $100/tire...

Soft isn't always bad and just getting long life doesn't make it a good tires unless that's all you're really looking for though.

Goodyear isn't sucky, they just make a few sucky tires that they sell at the cheap-o stores like Walmart(Like John Deere selling at Home Depot/Lowes). they still make very high end stuff to compete with Michelin, Bridgestone, and Continental. People just tend to talk about their bad experiences more than their good ones. Also, fwiw, saying a whole brand is good based on a couple models is like saying all of Ford is great because they make the GT. I've heard plenty of complaints about OE Michelins, Cotinentals, Pirelli, and Bridestones as well... Some people just don't like OE tires and will complain no matter what.

I know Continental at least has some factories here. I'd hope Michelin does as well.

Then they aren't the golden standard of racing if they only have their toes in one league of racing when there are hundreds out there. Formula 1 is the biggest money pit and, I could be wrong, I believe their ratings have been declining for the past decade as the sport blows to watch. I love the technology and the sheer speed of those cars but it is the least entertaining form of automobile racing out there. Want to know the finishing order of every race? Just watch the qualifying session. Heck, just watch Q3 and watch laps 1-3 and that's all the entertainment the sport offers. ..so.. like a regular truck that is completely different than the pictured Sprinter? lol

It's probably something you wouldn't care about in this car but fuel economy could drop a tad spinning a heavier tire with more tire touching the ground. For something like this, I doubt you're looking to eek out the best fuel economy possible anyway.

Correct, it's a ratio of the width.

I flew American last month and it was a pleasant experience.. Nothing to complain about.
-
Ohhhhh is that how you narrowed it down to those three tires?? I didn't even notice lol.

I have also heard really good things about the General Altimax RT43. When I was more active on bobistheoilguy.com a ton of people used that and liked it as well. It's one of the few 225/70R15's that isn't a truck tire, too.
-
Personally, I'd go with the 225/70 for looks more than anything else. But a wider contact patch has never hurt anything, god forbid, there is an emergency evasive maneuver. The 225/70 is also a slightly taller tire overall. Theoretically it will also gear the car a little taller..

The Optimo link still doesn't work and is this for the Honda or Buick?
