And so it goes... shopping for tires for my '22 TC. Looking for succinct experience on your tire preference for the Transcontinental. I've scoured the forum & the interweb & came up with 4 options. I'm open to comments from those experienced with the TC.
• Metzler Cruisetec
The shop said they'd had returns on these due to front end wobble.. first I heard of that for these tires, though other tires brands are reported to do this.
• Michelin ME888
• Michelin Commander III Touring
• Bridgesone Battlecruise H50 (the stock tires, see below)
The stock Bridgestone Battlecruise H50 tires performed well in all weather conditions, multiple road surfaces, and handling, even some unintentional but unavoidable dirt lanes and rough road construction. However, I got less than 6,000 miles out them before needing replaced: the tires will not pass state inspection. While this may be okay for a tire that otherwise performs well, it seems a bit underwhelming to me. But while I can cettainly accept 'good enough' for certain situations, seems as this should have better solution.
Thanks for any insight!
