Re: Time for new tires Suggestions?

I have revos on now and they handle better in all conditions than the stocker ht's did, they are a little louder though. Don't know how long they will wear yet. My boss just put some newly designed Goodyear wranglers on that are advertized to be quite civilized and have a supple ride. He confirmed it, so they might be worth a look.

Re: Time for new tires Suggestions?

I have run more different tires than I can remember on my vans...
I will give you this:
I ran some Kumhos from tire rack and loved them for traction and price, but they seemed to wear fast and 2 have separated after only 9k miles. They are all terrain and were 87 bux each. They worked great on beach sand around here.
While fighting with Kumho over warranty, I replaced them with Goodyear AT/D2s from Sams. These are billed as an all terrain tire, but the tread is much more road than off road, especially compared to the very aggressive Kumho treads. I like them very well on the highway and the price was great. I haven't had an off road test of them yet.
I keep 80 psi all around... always have, right or wrong.
Hope this helps
Dave

Edit: If I was to go to Sams and get these Goodyears again, I would get the same tire in 265. They were actually a couple bux less per tire, but I didn't notice until they were almost done mounting the 245s.

Mastercraft Courser HTR tires. They're made by Cooper, but less expensive than the cooper brand. They're very quiet, and good when it's wet.

Re: Time for new tires Suggestions?

I just purchased 4 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires for my van.
$750.00 installed (includes tax) with tire hazard warranty on all tires,valve stems and high speed balance.

http://www.goodyearwrangler.com

They state you will get 50,000 miles on these tires or they will pro rate them.
I had Wrangler RTS tires before these and they gave me 43,000 miles.

Re: Time for new tires Suggestions?

I have 50K on a replacement set of REVO'S and I love them. Should go over 60K for sure. Will get another set from the Tire Rack when it is time. And this time I will go for the 265's instead of std 245's. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/warmsmile.gif[/img]
