eewww tough one.

don't like the kendras I think they are on the wife's the traction in the rain sucks. brakeing traction sucks too. They wore kinda fast, everythings in spec too, but they were cheap.

goodyear wrangler gts or whatever is on my trucks sucks in the rain too, dry is alright.

the old goodyear eagle st's were the best for sure.

Not a fan of generals.

Kellys are awesome, they lasted forever and great traction all around.

had bfgs on it before the kellys they were good.

kumho I want to try, and good price on the ones in summit.

the rest are too expensive for me.

Do have a Pepboys near you? If so the definity tires are made by cooper just for pepboys but they dont have the cooper name on them.

nope we only got advance and autozone. I usually deal with a local guy, he deals in Dean tires, pretty nice tires good price. Had a set of 33 12.50 at's on dad's 86 and have a couple sets of their raised white letter stinger tires, one on the monte carlo I had, and the other set on dad's 84, which he still has, I sold my set for $175. Only paid about $265 for a set of 4 mounted and balanced, had em for like 5 or 6 years, tons of tread left like new, sold the car, dad used the wheels, and wanted his wider tires, so I sold my tires.

I'm running Pro Comps on the suburban (LT 315x75r16) nice and quiet on the street with decent traction on dirt. I don't do mud so the LT's are fine for me.

I really wish Michelin made a tire that size. My wife's '04 Accord came with them and I replaced the two fronts at 90,000. The backs haven't hit the wear bars yet with 103,000 on the odometer. I've never seen tires go over 100k before, I'm impressed.

that's what size I want 315/75 16's or find some nice chrome 15x8's or MAYBE 10's but more then likely 8's and run some 35's for 15's.

So are you saying Firestone/Bridgestone tires are nail magnets? Just cuz a tire gets flats doesn't mean its junk. Altough, I am not a big F&B Stone tire fan. I have good luck with BFG All Terrains, and bad luck with serveral differant Good Year tires, although unfair to say since they were all T Spec tires I had problems with. Not retail tires.
