My daily runner needs new shoes.

I'm looking at Michelin Cross Terrains at $193 a foot, versus Goodyear
Wrangler SR-A's at $179. In other words, the price is close to the same.

So, how the hell does one decide, one over the other?

Thanks. The Michelins have a higher treadwear rating. Very helpful.


I put Goodyear Fortera's on my pickup. They have much better wet road
traction than the Wranglers or Michelin cross country tires, they cost
less, they have a warranty, and I do very little off-road wood bashing
anyway.
