RSA's or Continentals

Post by mfreed »

I just noticed some base Vibes /w alloy wheels have different tires. Some has touring Continentals others have Goodyear RSA's.Why the difference? Running year change?

I think they do it just because. I haven't noticed a pattern yet.

quote:Depends on what the factory has available that day and what they have in stock.I agree. I haven't seen any pattern to the tire selection on the Vibe. Mine came in with Continentals and I had them swapped for Good Years.

I've got conti's and they suck royally. Reasonable rim protetors in the summer but winter? Pathetic.
