On the subject, I'll add a question, too. I'd like to go with more of a touring tire since my Sport is more of a daily driver than an off-road vehicle. Currently I have the stock 15s with Goodyear Wranglers. I'd like to go with a 17" wheel with more of a street tire. However, I volunteer for a company that puts on events in the woods and I'd like to have a tire that gives me adequate traction if I'm doing some mild off-roading. Suggestions?
 






The cheap ones. Cause when you wear the front tires out and have to buy new ones yll be sick...ha ha
 






lol its not a daily driver anyways ill prally go with the cheapest ones

i get 50% off those prices :)
 






Can't beat the Michelin LTX M/S.
 






Of the four, I'd say the Nitto, since it's slightly cheaper and they seem to build their tires pretty well.

The LTX M/S is tough to beat for a highway tire to use off-road, or the Pilot LTX for lower profiles. Most M+S rated street tires will give decent enough traction for driving on dirt roads, though.
