RE: Recommended 175/70/13 tires...

["Patrick Bureau (aka: Patric de Long Coeur)" <patricdlc@hotmail.com>]

I've blow 2 tires because quebeckers dump their fsken empty bottles
of beer on the sidewalks and other people break them, so there is shard and 
large bottom of bottles just waitting for a slice of your tire.

Aside from getting the flats (not due to quality of the tires.)
These MX4 from Michelin are the quietes ride I have had on standard 13" rims 
so far on this car.

OK - you've blown two of these tires and you're flogging them as good?? :)
Care to explain, or are you going to blame it on Qc. roads?
