Ok didn't get any replies from my last post, so I'll try this.

I'm looking into getting some new tires. I currently have BFG Long Trails but I don't care much for them. I want something a little more aggressive, something that will handle mountain roads and the Central Pennsylvania winters much better.

I looked into Uniroyal AWT's, but founds some negative reviews. Had BFG All Terrain TA's on my Ranger and loved them but they are a bit $$$. They still are more or less my default choice.

I do mostly street driving, but a fair amount of mountain roads too. Can I get some recommendations on a good tire??

 

You might want to look at Cooper Tires. I have Cooper Discoverer ATs on my truck and have been quite pleased with them. While we don't get a lot of snow down here, they did fine in what we did get. They have also done well in gravel, rocky terrain, and light mud. Road manners are good, and I have not had any wet traction problems either. I am at 26.5K miles on them so far, and expect to get at least that much more based on the way they are wearing.

 

Wallmart Liberator AT

I bought them for the EXACT reasons you listed. They are dirt cheap ($95/ea for a 285/75/16), they are agressive enough to work in loose soil, and they are quiet on the road. The only downside I can see is that they need a lot of lead to balance them out.

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo

I had them on my last truck and loved them. I ended up getting the BFG AT TA KO for my new truck, but think the Revo is a better tire for the money.

 

When I replaced the tires on my 2000 i needed 17" and the best bang for the buck seemed to be the Coopers. THey were a great tire. If you can go 16" look at the Pirelli Scorpian A/T....I had them for my 97, and would have put them on the 2000, but they do not have a 17".

thanks for the info! I'll look into the Cooper's. heard good things about the Bridgestones as well...

 

Bridgestone Dueler all the way.

Have 110,000 km (about 65,000 miles) on them right now and not even at the wear indicators yet.


Fantastic in snow and rain and very quiet.
