Time for new tires, what do you recomend?

[imq707s]

The Yokahama Geolanders on my 97 Mountaineer are all worn out and it's time for me to get some new tires. I liked the Geolanders, but that just wore out way to fast. I want a good all season tire that won't kill my wallet. I've been looking at the Bridgstone Dueler A/T Revo tires and they seem to geet good reviews.

What do you guys think?

Also, are there any tires besides that stock 235/75/15's that are a tad wider but same diameter and will still fit on the factory wheels?


Thanks

I've heard good things about the revo. I would also point you to the pro-comp AT. In pictures they look pretty reserved, but from what i've heard, when you see them for real they are quite agressive, and they also have a 50 or 55000 mile warentee. If you look them up online though, make sure you get the actual diameter, when I looked at them I was gonna have to buy a 32 or 33 just to get a true (or close to) 31" tire.

Good Luck

I agree, Pro-comp AT, BFG AT, Dueler AT are all good choices. You should take a look at each one in real life before you decide. I know there are wider tires with the same diameter out there but not in the all-terrain world, only street tires. Did you not want to go an inch or two bigger?

I would like to keep the diameter the same so I don't have to mess with recalibrating the speedo. Also, who makes the Pro-Comp AT?

I have been useing Cooper tires on my cars and have been very happy with them. When the Michelins get a little more worn I'll be replacing them w/Coopers. They have sizes W/ diameters & widths listed on their web site.

Those extra sipes in the HT make a difference in snow and ice. A pretty good tire.

What was your overall milage with the Yokahama Geo's?

I just purchased and installed a set last Wends of the Yokahamas. Other then tread wear, good tire overall? How do they perform in the mud/snow?

Thanks!
