Re: How long did your original Goodyear tires last? (HawaiiPontiacLover)

Replacing mine this week. 2006-37,000 miles. Local tire dealer said he was surprised I got that much out of them. Said he has replaced several at around 25,000.

Wow! Great deal. Based on some previous comments in the forum, I ordered cabin filters from some outfit in Canada this summer. Paid about $15 as I recall. It was for a 2006 Vibe, and I'm not sure if the 2007 is different, but I'll check it out. Nice find!

I'm pretty much echo maximum's comments.It amazes me to see Pontiac ads in the Sunday paper showing all the models, but with nary a mention of the Vibe. With gas prices in Mich hovering around 3.50 last weekend, their marketing strategy is a mystery to me.
