The Dunlop Radial Rovers wore out much too quickly and I'll be needing new ones soon. I'm thinking of an All Season tire instead of an All Terrain. I want something that will last a bit more than 25K miles and will also give a decent ride without breaking the bank. Opinions anyone? :)

Bridgestone Dueler's

BFG Long Trail TA's. I have 18,000 miles on mine, and have very little wear so far.

The Pro Comp A/T's have a 50,000 mile warranty. I think it's replaced first 25k, then prorated after that.

I havew them and have had very little wear over 10k miles.
 






I have the Michelin LTX M/S and love them but I don't do any hardcore offroading :)
 






Michelin LTX M/S..........simply the best all around SUV tire out there. Cost a lot? Sure do.............so do Porshes! Warranty? Who cares! Ask anyone, who has ever had them, how long they lasted. Heck, these tires last longer than most auto trannies in these Explorers!! :)

Here are a couple of pics of my current set. These tires are about 4 years old and have, just about, 49K miles on them.

I have Bridgestone Dueler H/L's. They do real well in snow, and are super quiet on the highway. A lot of tire preferences depend on what kind of driving you do, i.e. off-road, or highway.

Thanks for the replies guys! :) This is strictly a daily driver street truck, so I'm looking for what tire will be good just for everyday driving.
