Tire Preferences

[jawillou]

So I'm looking to get some new tires as mine are getting pretty bare. I already decided I'm gonna go up in size a little from stock to 265/70/16. I have heard some good things about the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo. I want an all terrain tire with a little more aggressive tread but nothing to extreme.

Does anyone have any preferences?

you can fit a 265/75R16 on there stock without any problems, and it really all depends on how/where/how much you drive.

I got a set of 265/70R17's (same as 265/75R16 AFAIK) Firestone Destination A/Ts on my stock 04 ex, and all I can say is I love them. I beast through all of Buffalo's Lake Effect snow like its not even there, and when im on the highway, I forget I have A/T tires on, they ride just like regular tires on pavement.

I second that
I have a set of destination a/t and they are way beter than the wranglers I had. I've been through a lot of mud and rocks and haven't gotten close to getting stuck and I have 2wd. They are also really smooth on the road and come with a 50,000 mile warranty so they are suppose to last a while

I have a set of Baja ATZ radials and they get the job done plus some.

My suggestion would be a Michelin LTX M/S2 or an X Radial LT2 if you can afford them. They're a 70k tire, and they're quite quiet from what customers have told me. Or you could go with a little louder set of tires, and go for a Michelin LTX AT2, or BFG All terrain. Both of those are more aggressive but will allow you much more range.

Goodyear wrangler territory 31" amazing grip on all surfaces, not overly loud on the highway.

I like the michelin cross terrains. Im pretty sure they came standard on the explorer, mine lasted 100K miles and I just put a new set on a few weeks ago. amazing grip, went through 2 feet of snow without any pproblems.

Yokohama Geolander will have to be my pick. Great reviews on Tire Rack. I've run the HT-S (On the Ex and the F150 now) and the AT-S. Good wear, good traction. Much quieter than the BFG's that I was running.

I do not recommend going up on tire size. Been there done that on other vehicles.
I went to sams to shop for tires and they only had the Michelen X cross terrain in my size. So for $165 + $15 + tax per tire I'm glad I did. The original factory tires had 69600 miles and still had another 5000 miles left. I have not learned how to hydroplane very well. I later found these tire to have great reviews.
