not bad at all for 90K tires really. I am currently runing Ironman tires on mine as I had them put on from my GP. The 4 mismatched tires on the Monte when I bought it were not even roadworthy I said NO WAY. My GP tires WILL go on the Monte...lol at least they were all the same brand, size, and tread..hahaha They are not the best tires ride wise but they will have to do for now.

You never want to drive on mis matched tires...
Especially in the rain and snow.

There was not ONE tire on that Monte that was the same as the other...LOL I swapped the tires to the Monte rims and then immediately took the car to my tire place for wheel balancing and complete alignment. I made sure oil and trans fluids and filters were changed that day and had a complete cooling system flush also. The people who had it before me should be horribly ashamed of how they maintained (or failed to maintain) this car. That's ok, she's in good hands now!!!

good evening to all, well i went to pick up my ps4 from the place today and on the way back smoke was starting to come from under the hood, it wasnt much but it was noticeable. for a slight second i smelled coolant and i thought wtf what now. lucklily i wasnt far from home. so i pop the hood and notice that my lower radiator hose is leaking, upon further inspection there is a slight cut in there. good thing i had a sare but its at my moms. so ill drive it to work and back tomorrow and fix it saturday ill just have to take my gf car when i get done work and do it, its a pain to do seeing as i failed the first time i tried to do this

And...
They wil more than likely be the last pair of tires I will ever have to buy for the Monte!

I did want another pair of Goodyear RSA's.. But they don't make them any more..
They only make the 40,000 mile RSA P's (Police)
I certainly didn't want those..
But much Thanks to Matt (06mistreSS) I decided on these Michelins!
Thanks Matt!
Goodyear RSA's are alive and well, devin got a set for his monte not long ago. Heres a link to RSA's for your car. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....4&autoModClar=

However I did notice there was no mileage posted. I just may have to call them to get further info.. I do know my factory originals were rated also at 90,000 miles. It also says these are rated for "light snow".. But my originals.. were killer in deep snow.

According to my belle tire...
They showed me they could no longer get the original RSA's from Goodyear.

But,
I'm totally happy with my Michelins.. Especially since its no longer my daily driver.
