    My Elantra seems to be going through tires faster than any car I have had before. Can someone out there recommend a tire that will last a while but still give a safe smooth ride?

    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    We had Sumitoms on our previous car. Same size as the Elantra.
    Nice ride, good in the snow.

    My inexpert opinion about tires of which I've bought many over 40
    years.

    They all wear, especially if the car is not aligned.

    I am not sure that Michelin and other top brands are all that much
    better than Douglas /Cornell (Walmart /Pep Boys).

    Walmart doesn't do alignments, but they are usually convenient to
    wherever you need tire service.

    So, I buy their nine dollar extra thing per tire.

    Tire places sometimes do second rate work, and I'm not sure Walmart is
    any worse than the rest of 'em.

    I bet your seemingly over-tire-consuming Elantra is not aligned or
    perhaps the tires are over/under inflated, or perhaps unbalanced.

    I have an 03 Accent. The Kumho tires from the factory lasted for 40
    thousand miles. There was still some tread left on the Kumhos however I
    decided to put some new tires on my Accent.
    I had a set of Michelins installed. The result is way better handling
    even on wet roads. I also am getting better gas mileage.
    I don't have an Elantra however, I now have a much better Accent...
    Good luck ....

    How many miles are you seeing before they need replacing? Are these the
    Michelen tires that came with the car when new? Are you having them rotated
    regularly and are they wearing evenly as a result?
