Need to get some tires for the first time in my explorer. I remember a few years back a whole bunch of drama between ford & firestone about tires causing rollovers and such. I figured this was mostly just that....drama, but as I start researching, it appears tire companies want you to call or come in, once I enter the year make model, they suddenly have nothing available.
Anyway, my truck is stock. I'd like something that won't cost extra at the pump, if I can get an aggressive offroad tread pattern that would be great, but fuel economy and decent ice/snow driving are more important.
Any info on the rollover issue would be great too. I read some of the past forum posts, and it seems to be that the consensus is...don't drive an SUV as if it's a sports car.....
Back to tire recommendations. I'm running 235/75/15's (stock I believe). What's been giving good experience?
Thanks
