E-150 tires - what do you run?

I have a 97' e-150 conversion van, just wondering what brand tires you all run, I have been running Firestone Destination LE3 but am not really
happy with them.

What don’t you like about the Firestones? Is this highway only? All season or summer only?

Our first choice for highway all season is Michelin. We don’t see snow much. Our ‘93 E-150 Chateau with Ford alloys came with BF Goodrich tires which lasted as long as we had the van. We ran the van heavy on the highway. No complaints other than once I parallel parked into the curb which unsat the bead enough to let air out. I got the sense the PO got whatever highway BFGs Costco was selling at the time.

Worked for Firestone when young
After doing alignments for 40 years, I buy Michelins
Cheaper tires have their place in this world, just not on your E150

Cooper Discoverer A/T's now.

Had used a couple of sets of Hankook H724's previously that were pretty good for cheap tires. Did great in the rain.
