Hiya people.

Need some tires and the research is causing my head to explode.
235/75/r15 are what I have now. All mismatched being I just bought the rig.
It's a 99 explorer Eddie Bauer v8.
Being I have 15in rims keeps the price a little lower.

Would like some Michelin LTX M/S2 ideally or Toyo Open Country A/Ts or
BFG Rugged Terrains but out of my price range.

Be nice to get 50k out of a set.

Looking for all season and longer wearing, low noise tires.
Don't do off-road but occasionally tow a utility trailer.
Want to keep the fiancée safe on the road.

Any suggestions or tips?
Would rather trust you over tire rack reviews.

 

Started a new thread...other one fell dead but this is what Mikeman suggested:

I liked the Toyo Open Country A/Ts that I put on my Ranger. They worked really well in the snow. I didn't use them off road, so I can't comment on that aspect. The tread on the Toyo is more aggressive than the Michelin but I have no way to compare the two in terms of actual performance. Michelin makes good stuff. I don't think you could go wrong with the Michelin tires.

Have you read through the reviews on Tire Rack?


Thanks Mike.
