Hi-

I need to replace my front tires (2000 Passat). My mechanic has recommended the following:

Michelin MXV4 140.95 each
Bridgestone CH95 90.50 each
Cooper Lifeliner SLE 88.95 each

Are these good choices & prices? Any others I should look into?

Thanks much in advance!

I assume you mean Continental CH95's. The CH95's and MXV4 Energy +'s are OEM tires used on the Passat. Since you are going to only replace the front tires, choose the same tire that is on the rear of your car.

As far as prices go, they don't look too bad. You may want to shop around and get total pricing from other sources. Tire dealers have a way of quoting a tire price and then tacking on a lot of separate fees when they hand you an invoice.
