Need advice on tires...

[V8Limited4wd]

I am looking to replace my oe michelin ct's and was wondering what tires people have had good experiences with. I drive mostly on the highway and want to also have good traction in snow like the ct's and a comfortable low noise ride, but not the high price. so far i've looked at

general grabber hts
Kumho Road Venture APT KL51
Continental CrossContact LX
BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A
Michelin LTX A/T 2

i do have about 55k miles on 2, and around 15k on the other 2.. so i'm not sure if i should just buy 2 new mich ct's instead of 4 new tires.

IMHO all of your choices are good. A pair of new CT's is the least fun choice but perhaps the best based on what you've described.

If you do go for 4 put the Mich LTX M/S2 on your list.

Are you running 17's or 18's? If it's 17's and you choose to go with 4 tires consider 265/70's vs 265/65's. They are a tiny bit taller. Many members use this size on non-lifted T4R's with no issues and you have many more options for less money.

The LTX's are nice.

Maybe a TripleTred or Silent Armor would be good for you.

Im under the impression that the Long Trails suck in almost all conditions. Id avoid if I were you.

Bridgestone Revo 2?

i'm also looking at the nitto dura grappler... wonder if anyone tried these tires out on this board. good reviews on discount tire website and not a bad price, $155 each shipped

I mean your not asking for anything special, why not Revos, LTX AT2, LTX M/S.....tried and true.
