tire suggestions?
important as traction (rain, snow, here in Minnesota). Tires below came with truck. Any suggestions?
1995 Ford Explorer, 4x4, 2door. OEM: 225/70R15
Front tires: P235/75/R15 Delta Majestic XL
Rear: Dunlop 255/70/R15.
Thanks in advance.
My wife's pickup has a set of BFGoodrich Long Trail and those also seem pretty nice.... I got them at the local wharehouse shop (BJs) and they were 200 bucks less than the set of Bridgestones for my Mountaineer. They are not all-terain, but for the price they were a great deal. Looking at the, I do not think she will have any issues with snow either... but only time will truly tell.
You say you just want to replace the rears? If the fronts are near new, I would try to match the fronts in terms of size, make, and model. Different manufacturers and even different styles from the same manufacturer will have a slightly different circumference. In 2H that doesn't matter. I don't know how well the 4Auto setting tolerates differences in tire size. I know I've had trouble (on my BII) with same size/different make tires in 4H and 4L.
If it were my rig, I'd do what I could to try to end up with 4 tires as closely matched as I could.
