I have been running a Michelin Hydroedge 205/65R 16 with complete satisfaction, now I need a replacement and find that this tire is no longer being made.

OkAT Guys, what are you running for a darkside tire.  I loved the Michelin, its got over 54,000 miles on it with no problems at all.

I have a nice low mile one with a hole right in the middle of the tread. Picked up a nail & used that as an excuse to switch back to an Avon MC tire.
You can have it if you want it, just pay for the shipping.  Wink

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

Switch to the 55 or 60 series.

Thanks for the leads, but, the localSam's is out of stock and cannot find one.
Local Sears, same deal.

I do not want anything but the 65 aspect.

I finally decided on a Falken ZE512 in the correct size.  Discount Tire Co.  In stock.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Falken Ziex ZE-512 205/65R-16

Get them while they last. I'm told the ZE512 is also out of production...

my third DS tire  is a Vredestain Sportrac 3  and it's the best DS I have had. Absolutely the one which feels more like a MC tire than any of the other. ( Goodyear and Pirelli)
