Tire Time!
OK I bought my Excursion last spring and now I need tires. It has "E" rated firestone ST's on it now.
I pull an 8-10K toyhauler a couple times a month so I'm staying with "E" but really have NO CLUE what brand or type of tire to get.
Anyone have any review sites that could help me out?!

Welcome, what size? 2wd/4wd? I now have pro-comp All Terrains on, they are E and have a 50k warranty, I am real happy with them, had Nitto Terra Graplers, was to soft, were gone in about 28k, Wrangler MTrs' were great, 48k out of them, although they are noisy on the highway. We tow a 10k Ragen toyhauler also, and I have to say I really like the Pro-comps, check out tirerack.com, or 4wheelparts.com

Get BFG All Terrains. Ive never heard anyone have a problem with them. I have them for 2wd and it made a world of difference. I can acutally take the truck off the road with out worrying about getting stuck!

The reviews on the BFG were not good. The Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor (new) and the Pirelli both had good user reviews and are about the same price.

Dang, how does she do in 2wd while plowing? Where you doing a drive way or a lot? Ive always thought about getting one to do drive ways but not lots. People tell me to sell the thing and get 4wd. just really dont wnat to sell it.

Revo's?
I am also in the market for new tires (2004 4wd). On my previous Expedition I had a set of Bridgestone Revo's. Those tires were great, quiet and no problems in snow or mud. Is there anyone with any experience with Revo's on an Excursion?

Downriver thunder, what size are those toyo a/ts? how much did you pay for them and did they make a big diff over the bfg a/t? I posted you privately about the plow (i dont want to steal the topic of this thread)

I would have to go out and look but I think they were 285/75r16's and the price was just under $700 but that included nitrogen filling, tire warranty, alignment and replacement of a tie rod. The tires in my pic are the old Kelly Safari SUV's.
