Re: Let's talk tires...
You can order Nokian tires on the web at a discount at:
http://www.tirefactory.net (use their phone number at the site to order)
My WRs (185/65HR15) were under $100 each (yours will cost more since they are larger, make sure to get the H-rated version) and were installed locally for $40.

I just weighed my new '09 FEHL rim and my new Michelin Latitude Tour tires before I have them mounted as a spare for '09 and 2 front tires for my '05 FEH.
Rim is 20.4 pounds. Cost - $188.53 + $50 core charge
Michelin Latitude Tour tire is 29.4 pounds. Cost each - $159

The FEHL Rim and Michelin Latitude Tour tires weighed 49.8 pounds, which is .6 pounds more than the stock FEH rim and the Eco Plus. The folks that got the '09 FEH non Limited models have the 47.6 pound tire and Rim set-up.

Re: Let's talk tires...
Did I miss a posting of a photo of these Limited rims, or are these the ones?
I'd actually like the same wheels as I have now, but in Chrome to go with the rest of the vehicle...
Off topic, but the 09 has the rear wheel spoilers even with the side steps? The one I saw did not have the side steps.

Re: Let's talk tires...
Can someone tell me what the stock FEH rim size is? I know they are 16" but what is the width and offset? I am looking at aftermarket forged aluminum and magnesium wheels that are lighter then the stock FEH rim.

We're about ready to replace the Coni's and are looking at the Michelin Latitude Tours for our '06.
Now that they've been out for a while and folks have some miles on them sure would appreciate any additional or new feedback on the Michelin Latitude Tours.
We were alos considering Michelin Cross Terrain as these are in stock at Costco but we like what the Michelin site has to say about the Tours, ie, long lasting, quiet!
