I purchased a new 06 Honda in Jan 06 that had Dunlop tires. Drove 70,000 km's and the dealer and goodyear tire outlet said I did good to get that many. Now I am looking for a replacement set, and from what I can see you get what you pay for as far as tires go. The goodyear outlet said with the amount of mileage I drive which is about 23,000 km's per year I should consider Goodyear Assurance Triple Tred 135,000 km's rated. Total would be $800.00. Does anyone drive these tires on their civic. Would like to know if this is overkill for my civic or good advice. Most of my driving is highway. My intial purchase price would be around $400- $500, is this a little unrealistic. Bottom line is I have no idea what to get, just need a good general highway tire for driving year round. My tires are rotated every 10,000 km's when I do my oil changes and tire pressue is checked monthly.

The last couple weeks I have not had heat in my 1998 GMC Jimmy. It just blows out cold air. The temp gauge reads that the car is warm (normal reading). The air conditioning does not work either, but that has been in and out for a couple years. The heat however is a new problem however. Someone suggested that my heater core is plugged up?? Is that possible? Another suggested it was the switch (warm-cold), but on a warm day if I turn the heat on, warm air comes out and if I switch it to cool, cold air come out. And I already checked the antifreeze and that was fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Corey
