I just bought this vehicle and it needs new tires. My question is just about some tires I found a good deal on. The tires are Crosswind All Season 235/55R19 105W. They have good reviews but the center tread is just a solid strip. I am just wondering if that affects anything or not?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros. Com.

The tread design will not cause any issues. I can tell you, Crosswind tires are a low end tire. One of the things we offer at my shop is tires. They are available, but I never seen anyone get more than 12,000 miles out of them. Check the tread wear (UTQG) on the tires. If it is lower than a 500, do not expect many miles. I am sure that the company makes good ones too, so the tread wear is what I would suggest checking.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
