I have Triple Treds on my '05 Malibu and I LOVE them. Definitely an upgrade from the stock eagles that were on them...As far as the Monte...don't laugh too hard. The front 2 were Yokohama, the driver's rear was an Eagle RS-A and the Passenger rear was an off brand, of which this tire was a 1/2 taller than the driver side. I felt like I had one leg shorter than the other. (no offense to anyone in the forum that may) lol. I now have 4 new Kumho Solus KR-21's and tonight was the first night with rain and the performed great...THey were a good buy. Both sets, triple treds and KR's have an 85,000 mile warranty, which is why I bought them.
