I went out to my car this morning and noticed a bubble on the side wall on one of the tires. Now the problem Right now I have Michelin 195/55 15 XGT V4 on all four. To replace the one tire it will be $189. How good of a tire are they? Should I fork out that much cash for just one tire or is there a better one for less money? What should I do?? Thanks for your input!!:mad:

The price of that tire is the biggest ripoff I have ever experienced. Unfortunately, I got a$$raped on that deal TWICE. That was before I got smart and bought a new set of RE730's for about the same price as TWO of those tires.

Honda gets some special deals on these tires in bulk, then makes a ton reselling and the manufacturer makes a ton replacing worn/blown stock tires at retail price.

My budds and me ordered to sets of pirelli's 195-50 15's for 45 bucks a piece..they're just fine if u ask me and look and perform just as well. Got them from tirerack.com. Oh. I'd had them michelins too. They were ok..but damn not for that price.

michelin may make some excellent tires, but the xgt v4s that come on the civic si and the integra gsr are garbage. they do nothing for the car. traction sucks and the treadwear is terrible. you'd think that you'd at least be able to get one of those qualities.
