Tire buyer.com has me sold. I bought a set of 20 inch Goodyear Eagles a year ago for around $525.00 and just bought a set of 15 inch Goodyear Wranglers a week ago for my son's truck for $313.00. I know these aren't top of the line but they're still good tires at a great price.

Thanks for all the input, OT.

Wanted to bump one time to see if there were any more recommendations.

I'm leaning towards:
BF Goodrich A/Ts KO2s or the Toyo Open Country A/T 2s

I bought some new ones yesterday. Last thing I wanted to do was spend money on my truck because I'm about to get rid of it, but I had a tire blowout on me Sunday. So I bought some primewell ATs which is firestones economical tire. 285/70/R17 for $663.

I currently drive a 2007 Chevy Tahoe. Tire metrics are: 265/65-R18. Right now I have Bridgestone Dueler A/T's. I would like something similar to those, but those are pretty damn expensive.


I'm on my third set of the Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts on my 4Runner. I got over 75K on both of the first sets, and the second set still had pretty good tread at 75K I only replaced them when I did because of a blowout on the interstate.

Hell of deal. I actually had copper stt pros on my truck which was a dd and wanted new tires for my jeep, so I ended up buying better Riding tires for my truck and put the coppers on my jeep

Those at2s are supposed to be good tires. I have the ATP Cooper's and they are pretty quiet.

I didn't read this whole thread, but I typically do my research on tirerack.com...they have some damn good customer feedback on the various tires.

once I figure out what tires I want, I just get them locally, as you won't save any money after mounting and balancing is done.

I like the Firestone Transforce A/T's. They are a heavier ply tire with good tread life (especially if you travel alot of gravel and shitty roads).

Costco - Michelin or bridgestone. Don't cheap out on tires....it's the only part of your vehicle that contacts the ground (kinda important IMHO).
