Just bought a '07 Navigator with 60k miles, 4x4, with the 20" wheels. Going to be driven in Illinois, so some snowy weather in the winter but usually nothing too bad, especially this year.

Tires are still stock and will need to be replaced here shortly. Looking for suggestions on the best all-around tires, as I dont typically change out tires for winter. Budget of $200 per tire.

Thanks.

 

Check out Yokohama YK520

 

Bfg long trail ta tours were on the truck when i bought it and they have been stellar. Quiet, great wet weather, and have 50k on them currently and still have good tread.

 

Great all around tire.

I have Nexen on my Explorer and Expedition.
On the Explorer now for 2 years - 17" - total cost $600
On the Expedition for almost 1 year - 20" - total cost $660

They have pretty good reviews, I know a few other people that have them and no complaints. One of my friends has a Turbo Buick and races with Nexen tires too.

Yes I know they're made in China (so is just about everything else in our lives) and if I didn't know people who have run them Id be more skeptical.
If I can get a US product for a bit more money I do, but when the next closest quote on tires I got was well over a grand... $660 installed, balanced and with warranty sounded too good.

I have no regrets...
Ive been very happy with them on both the Explorer and Expedition, especially for the cost.
They've been quite, smooth, virtually no wear and great traction wet or dry. (I have no snow to worry about)

 

What is the speed and load rating for the Nexen tires on the Expy?
