Default New Tires?

Ok so I need new tires, but I am not changing rims or sizes or anything so stock size will do.

Ideas of good brands? I dont know much about tires. I dont need $1,000.00 tires... just good all-seasonals.

Oh I got them from my place of work...goodyear

They were on sale + my discount...so I got them for 80 bucks! ( For all four )

Normally I think they run around 80 a tire, but usually have a tire sale where you can get them for 70 a tire

Stay away from Goodyear Wrangler tires.. I had them and they are a pile of POS.. Plus they have the worst ratings on tire rack as well. I found you a good tire and wont hurt the pocket as well. It was really good ratings as well. Dunlop SP 60 tire $75.00 each.

Why would you put a car tire on an SUV?

go to wal-mart...... they have a tire called the BFGoodrich Land Terrain.... I have them on my silverado... raised white letters, tread pattern similar to the all-terrain just not as aggresive. They are made specifically for wal-mart/sams club by BFGoodrich... i've got about 25,000 miles on mine and they seem to wear just like the all-terrains do.. I actually ran the set on my blazer until I decided I wanted a more aggressive tire.. then I put them on my silverado. They run about $60 each.. Great for a 2wd, I didnt have to switch to my snow tires this year. My sister rund el dorado sport tour tires on her explorer and they seem to be nice too. Dad runs the Liberator All-Terrain (also found at wal-mart) on his silverado. They are made by uniroyal, and seem to be okay. The Goodyear Wrangler radial is also available at wal-mart in a 235/75/15 for around $50..


BFG Land Terrain on my blazer (in the early days..lol):




More aggressive BFG AT's




P.S. the dates on the photos are wrong...lol

I opened my mouth becuase I know what I am talking about...

I work in a tire shop...read the descrption on tire rack, used for coupes, sedans and minivans...

Not once have I ever put an SP60 on a SUV/Truck...

Dunlop AT / Radials / Grandtrak are for SUVS...not SPs
