RE: New Tires?
I bought my blazer with firestone firehawk indy 500's on it..... so people do put car tires on SUV's..... not sure why.. but they do.. those tires are now on my buddy's 1995 2wd blazer and they do just fine..

personally I wouldnt run anything but an LT on mine.. I dont even like SUV tires, but those firehawks do fine on my friends truck and he uses it to pull a 4-wheeler trailer, boat, and a 22ft camper....

Thats straight off Tire Racks site listed for the Blazer and I just spoke to Tire Rack as well and they assured me that is the correct tire for this vehicle. So just because you never sold it does not mean it is not for it.

Not saying you cant...
But tires have load ratings, putting a car tire meant for a car/minivan on a truck is strongly illadvised.

RE: New Tires?
Ok... guys... chill.
I need for 4wd, so any that are rated for 2wd, not going to work for me. I also need all seasonals. I haven't the storage space to store another set of tires for winter. So, i'm limited. I'm going to see what Costco has for tires, since they have a GREAT tire plan. If you get tires from them, they mount and balance for free, they have free rotations for the life of the tires... free repairs for the life of the tires.. .and when you gotta get new tires... they prorate the old ones and you get money OFF! so... i'll see what options they have for tires and go from there.

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..
