    Michelin headache

    Subaru Subaru Advice Subaru Liberty Subaru Liberty Advice Subaru Liberty 2004
    I HAVE a Subaru Liberty and the original tyres are Michelin Pilot HX 195/60R15 88VMXV3A. These have travelled 72,000km and are coming up for replacement. I had hoped to buy only three new tyres as the spare is unused, but I have been told this tread pattern is no longer made. New Michelin tyres are $180, Bridgestones are $145. Do you have any advice? Where can I buy Michelins for $140?

    YOUR problem is so common with Michelin that tyre dealers are being left with stocks of superseded tyres. To help out owners like yourself, dealers have a website with information on which tyres are available and where. Stuckey Tyre Service (Ph: 9386 5331) may be able to source three tyres to match your spare. Other than that, the replacement Michelin tyre is the XM1, and Stuckey has those for $146 each. They also say it will be better than the originals on your Subaru, which are susceptible to road noise.
