New Tires (Part 4 [ Last one I hope])

OK, hopefully this will be my last post on tires, cos I really need to get these sukers replaced fast.

I've taken everyones advice into mind, and have done a lot of calling around and now have it down to 2 tires.
The :
BFGoodrich Long Trial T/A
(Dead Link Removed)
- or -
Goodyear Workhorse Radial
(http://www.goodyear.com/us/tires/tirecatalog/WKHRAD.html)

The Goodyear is $20 less then the Goodrich. Would it be worth paying the extra $80 for all 4? Or are the Goodyears still a good tire?

I don't really do any off-roading or anything like that, I'm mostly looking for some good traction in the rain.
 






The Goodyear Workhorses are meant to be a commercial truck/ work truck tire. They are strong but they aren't going to ride very well or handle well. The Long Trails are a very good tire. I had a set on my 92 and they rode well and did decent off road. They wore very well too. I put almost 30000 miles on mine and they had more than half the tread left. I think the Long Trails will be worth the extra $80.
