Need new tires, need suggestions plz

[SWADE23]

Hey Room!

I have a question, hope someone could inform me. I did a search but didnt get the answer I was looking for.

I need to get a set of 4 new tires for my 2000 expy. I currently have a set of Goodrich Rugger Trail T/A KO tires that came with the truck. They are some real beefy tires that looked great, but now they're practically slicks lol.

I was looking to get a set of Goodyear Wrangler HP tires. Reviews say they are a nice solid tire. Also saw the Goodyear Wrangler SR-A. These are a little cheaper but have mixed reviews. I see them on a lot of Ford vehicles.

Im basically looking for a decent, affordable set of new rubber that gives a quiet comffy ride. I dont do off-road stuff but it be nice if the opportunity presented itself. Mostly city/highway driving

Can anyone give me a couple of suggestions?

My wife has rugged trail tires on her f150. - she's all highway driving,
But I've ran thru decent mud with them and am impressed. Good ride, too!

Buy any tire MADE IN USA. Cooper for example ........

the cooper atr and at3 are solid tires

On my 2nd set of Michelin LTX/MS2; best ride compared to the OEM Goodyear Wranglers that came on her.

Sure you've been to tirerack.com and checked all the comparison data?

Let us know what you do and the final cost. I'm in the market for some for my stock 16" rims and have been holding out (trying to avoid spending the $ !)

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the options. I ended up going with a set of Firestone Winterforce uv
They should be in today. Cost me 550 for 4 then whatever it is for mount, balance, alignment

I bought some khumos for my expedition. They have high ratings and are inexpensive. Just check tirerack.Com

Edit: just saw you already bought some.

Why did you buy winter tires vs a all terrain or M/S rated tire. From the survey it looks like they may be a little noisy on dry pavement. Do you plan on using them in the summer also?
Other than that they seem nice and a good price.

bought my tires at wally world. They are all season Goodyear tires. They are ok, in the snow they could be better but over all they work for the cost. They were around $140 per tire

I recommend Michelin X Radial LT2 s (or ltx ms2)
best tires ive ever had. the car put well over 100k on those tires and lasted for a good 8 years. Great all season and grip

what about Nitto Terra Grapplers or General Grabbers?
