don't know if this shoud go here, but what the heck. since my firestones are finally recalled, i'm in the market for some good tires. i do some offroading, so i want something with a descently aggressive tread pattern. road noise is not that big of an issue. i have the 15" tires and rims now for the explorer. P235/75R15 i think.... anyone have any good suggestions. i'm not limiting myself to just the selected tires that are ok for a straight exchange for the full recall, because i know i can talk the people at the dealership near me for a "pay the difference" deal. thanks in advance

When one of my firestones de-treadded on me back before the recall I replaced the whole set with BFGoodrich A/T 30X9.5 tires. I have been very happy with them and are on my second set of those.

I agree. BFG A/T aswell as M/T are very good tires.

Another for BFG. I'd get the All-Terrain T/A KO's in a 31x10.50. I've got them and am very pleased their performance.

well then, it looks like i'll have to go with the bf goodrich's then. 31X10.5 was what i was looking at in the first place. just wanted to make sure that i wasn't doing anything other explorer enthusiasts wouldn't do. thanks guys for the imput
