Any recommendations on new rubber for my 95 Lightning? Have now Dunlop 265/55/17's and want to go back to orig size 275/60/17's. Am considering Michelin Cross Terrain or Kumho Ecsta Stx..... any suggestions for the best all around tire (daily driver & highway miles) is appreciated !!!

Toyo Proxies would be a good tire to go with. Kumho's are priced low, but some people have had problems with them "cupping" over time. I have a set of Goodyears on mine now. They ride well and they're quite, but traction isn't as good as the other two.

I am using fire stone firehawks on my 94 and i like them. They offer better traction than the Goodyear GT2's last longer and are cheaper.
