Gonna try out the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires (255/65/17).
OEM Tires were 245/65/17 Michelin Cross Terrains. They were very smooth, quiet, and competent in inclimate weather and I got 42k miles on them before replacing them, even though they could have gone a bit more too.
Next I put 255/65/17 Bridgestone Dueler Revo's on. Excellent traction and handling in all conditions, and offered a capable grip for off roading and mudding. Got 40k out of them and basically ran them til they were bald.
Then I put the same size and tire on the next time, but they were the Revo 2's and I wasn't impressed firstly with their snow traction. Secondly, I was disappointed in their off road grip, as the tread pattern is much closer together than the original Revos. I thought this would IMPROVE treadwear, but I've only got 20k miles on them, and 2 of them didn't pass inspection. Told the guys I was getting new tires anyway, so they pushed them through. With this set I did a lot less off roading, 2 very mild winters, and the treadwear on them has been pretty bad.
I really like the Michelin LTX MS2, and I think they might be one of the best tires around, but I wanted something that offers more off road capability if I need it, so I thought I'd give the popular Wrangler Silentarmors a try. Not going with higher load rated tires... really have no inclination to since they won't last any longer.
