Tire recomendations
Looking for some advice on tires.
I have a 2011 KIA Soul.
Stock tires are Hankook Optimo 205/55/16 I find them loud and not very good in slippery conditions.
I placed Michelin X-ICE on the OEM rims for winter which are 205/50/16
That seems to have knocked the speedo out of whack a bit where the GPS will state that I'm travelling at 100km/hr but the speedo shows 108-112 km's/hr
I drive a fair bit so that makes my odometer creep up higher than it should be.
I was looking at the stock 18" rims and tires that the Soul came with but heard that larger wheels make for a rougher ride and I'm an old man so I don't need that.
I'm trying to narrow down the options and thinking that 205/60/16 will provide a good compromise of a comfortable ride and maybe slow down my mileage creep a bit. I'm probably about 1200km's over where the actual mileage should be.
My options are:
Canadian Tire Michelin Primacy on sale for $169.49 each (Costco is $ 185/ea + $15/ea installation)
or
Costo BF Goodrich at $169.99 (plus $15/ea for installation)
Though if I shop around for Pirellis (I bought some last summer from Costco for my '08 Mazda5), I can get a $200 rebate thanks to this RFD thread
Though if you have another suggestion, I'll gladly consider it.
