I'm currently looking at either
Michelin defender 185 / 60 r15 84T sl bsw 90,000 mile warranty
or
continental vanco 4 season 185/60r15 94T c5 BSW NI no warranty
both cost the same which do you recommend for me or is there any other tires you all recommend? I'd like to keep my gas mileage and have a comfortable ride

 

I think we need H rated tire. I bought some goodyear 205-50R16. I am yet to get it installed. Still not sure if it is ok with warranty if i switch to this size instead of factory size. Samsclub guy looked into some book and said it is fine.

 

what does the h rating mean? The defenders claim they have low rolling resistance

 

"H" is a speed rating.

I've used Michelin Defenders on a couple of cars. They are quieter than the aquatreads they replaced, have a fairly long treadlife, and work well in wet and snow.
