I don't even kind of like Goodyear tires. Bad wet traction, and not a good life for the dollar.

Cooper Discoverers are a great tire for traction, life, and price. I got 80,000 out of them on my F350.

I recomend the Goodyear Silent Armor tires. I have put 20,000 on mine and they have been exelent in both wet and dry conditisions.

I have Goodyears on my wifes car, and hate them. Poor wet traction, horrible snow traction. I will be replacing these this fall with Bridgestones. I had Bridgestones on the X b4 the Nittos.

I just saw these on Tire Rack and they look interesting. The Price is nice as well. I hope they are better than the wranglers that came on my 78 F150. They have the worst wet traction ever. Granted they are old and dry rotted, but jeez. Wet leaves or grass will do them in.

Anybody try them yet?

Here's a recent thread with a less-than-stellar review of Goodyears on an EX: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...xperience.html

hope that helps...

That sounds horrible...I wonder if the DuraTracs will fare the same?
