[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1006141, member: 52972"] Nobody can make your tire choice for you. You need to determine exactly what qualities you are looking for in tires. If you do mostly freeway driving, you probably want something that is quiet with good mileage. Also you need to look at the Temperature and Traction ratings. It's hard to find a Truck tire that has a temperature or traction rating of "A"....and if they have a traction rating of "A" they often have lower mileage ratings because of the softer tread. Most off-road, MS or All-Terrain tires have poor wet weather traction because of the large tread blocks, but you can have the tires Siped to improve wet weather traction...but it will cost about $10 per tire for the siping. I did that with the Goodyear Wranglers on my 2003 Sport Trac. It make a big improvement in wet weather traction. I will not suggest brands or models of tires. You need to look at the Treadwear, Temperature, and Traction rating of each tire and see how that fits your type and style of driving. That will narrow your search and then look to other peoples reviews and opinions. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
