New tires needed. I have looked and don't seem to find what would be good tire for a 2019 Equinox LT with Michelin's Premier LTX, 225/65r17 tires. The original 4 tires got 29,000 miles and all are showing lots of sidewall cracking all the way around and were never run low. The tread is about 3/4 worn out. They are the Michelin's Premier LTX of which I am not a fan of but that's what it came with. I live in California desert area and drive sanely, easy starts, don't push it through corners, no hard braking. I find that front wheel drive cars are really noise because of tire noise inside. I am looking for tires that are quieter and last longer time, rot/cracking wise. Notice I didn't say cheap. I don't drive in the snow of heavy rain and if I do I slow down. I lived in northern Michigan for 30 years and know how to drive in severe weather conditions and that means slow down. Anyone have any suggestion's for tires in that size that they installed and think they are quieter?
As a side note, my auto stop wasn't working anymore and I liked that it didn't work, but the battery was the original and I replaced it after it was 5 years old and now the auto stop is working again and I hate it, annoying and I don't care that it saves me a teaspoon of gas every time I drive it. The total amount I save in gas costs won't begin to pay for a new starter and flywheel when the wear out.
