Hi All,
I'm desperately in need of some new tires and figured I'd treat myself to some pretty sweet rubbers. I've searched the end of the internet, consulted the normal magazines like Consumer Reports, and have narrowed my chooses to 4 tire choices. I'm just throwing this post out there to see if anyone has any experience with these. It's a total toss-up for me, but my main concerns are ice braking and hydroplaning. All seem to do well with the latter, but ice scares the hell out of me!
Michelin Defender LTX M/S (Ranked #2 in Consumer Reports All-Season Tire for SUVs)
Goodyear Assurance CS TripleTred All-Season (Ranked #3 in Consumer Reports All-Season Tire for SUVs)
Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar (Ranked #2 in Consumer Reports All-Terrain Tire for SUVs)
Michelin LTX A/T 2 (Ranked #3 in Consumer Reports All-Terrain Tire for SUVs)
I'm likely to hit up my local Mr Tire or Ford Dealer, but TireRack links are better for reference. And just a disclaimer, dirt roads are more of a bucket-list than an actuality for me
Any input is GREATLY appreciated!
