What tires to get?

​​​My last set of Vredstein Quartracs lasted 4 years and 30,000 miles. I'm looking for a quiet tire. I do live in Colorado but since I drive so little they don't have to be that great in snow.

Yokohama or Michelin all day. Never ever run those offbrand tires...

Vredestein is a legit tire brand, nothing wrong with them though you'd probably want to check tests of the specific tires because there's a huge variability between different models. For snow Blizzaks are usually the best but it's up to you if you need that.

So a 16 is okay to use? Discount Tires only shows three tires for this car. The original Firestones, a Cooper, and a Falken.

TIre Rack has only these Michelins but the reviews say they're noisy. MICHELIN AGILIS CROSSCLIMATE

​​​​​​ I did do discount tires. They only had two options for the 15-in. Do you guys all get the 15-in?

Upgrade To 16 Inch Wheels.

You could upgrade to 16 inch wheels.

You might be able to find a set of stock Fit EX Wheels on Facebook Market place.

Or

Discount Tires has a great selection of aftermarket 16 inch wheels. It will be an expensive purchase just so you know.

Try tirebuyer.com. I've used them 2x to buy tires and have received great deals. They'll deliver to an installer of your choice.

After the OEM tires went out, I had general altimax rt43 because of high mileage warranty. They lasted around 49k. I'm now using General G-MAX AS-05 since my commute isn't as far.
