The 97 XLT needs new tires. Last set were Hankook. They had even wear. No problems. Didn't get a whole lot of miles out of them. I estimate around 30k or so. I looked for Cooper tires on Amazon. Found CS5 radial for $79.00 shipped. I tow a lightweight cargo/camper for camping trips so I do have a load on the rear end every now and then. Trailer is about 1400 lbs. I'm looking for suggestions for tires. I'd like to keep it under 80 bucks each shipped.

 

Consider Walmart Douglas All Season, in your price range.
Good warranty and warranty service on the spot thousands of stores.
Running them on my old backup tank van AWD since she no longer gets much love. Good tire in rain, OK in snow. Hold up well. No longer tow with the Aero.

WM tires shops have nice equipment and competent staff, far better than the store clerks.

Check area stores for stock online.

 

I checked them out. Seems like a decent tire. Thanks for the input. Apparently it's $12 per tire for mount/balance.

 

The Douglas (Kelly?) aren't bad, but at Walmart you can usually tie into a deal on Goodyears for not much more. I was gonna get Douglas but got a really nice Goodyear all season - 215/65/15 for about $8 more ea with a better load rating and longer tread warranty. All 4 out the door (I just brought in my wheels) mounted and balanced were around $350 as I recall. They've been a really outstanding all season so far.

 

Goodyear huh. I'll take a look at them. Thx.

 

They have some amazing deals ar walmart.com. Bought a set of Goodyears for our Bonneville, they were on sale for like $69 each or something ridiculous like that! I put a pair of Falken 15"s on the back of my 95. Did get 40K out of them, but just barely.

 

I looked for that size in a Goodyear all season. Only thing I can find right now is over 90 bucks each. It's true though, there are some very goodlooking deals on various brands. I still even like the Douglas too. There's a General Altimax ten dollars off.
