    I have Goodyear Wranglers on one pickup and Bridgestone Duelers on the other. The Bridgestone tires have about 50,000 miles on them with about 30 0/0 tread left. The Goodyear tires have got less than 2500 miles on them.

    My '06 GMC came with General tires. I had 6 flats with 2 total blowouts in one year on these pieces of junk. I had to go buy 2 of these to replace the blowouts. With a flat one day and then another the next day, I went to my local dealer and told him to jerk everyone of these tires off of my truck, including the spare, and put me 5 new ones on there. The new ones are Cooper tires and I haven't had any trouble out of them for about 6 months. (Oh, I have 4 GENERAL tires for sale if anyone wants them! Very CHEAP! The other one had a plug in it.)

    97 Silverado Contintal lt/suv (made by Uniroyal) 265 70 15. Second set, the 1st set i bought just before "Lil" was born and bought the 2nd set just after she turned four. Purchessed them at WALMART and paid just over 500.00. Good tires rated for 80,000 miles, just give yourself a lil extra time stopping in the rain.

    One truck has Cooper Cobras on them, never had any problems other than the alluminum rim corrosion causing them to not to seal every now and then. Another tuck has Mastercraft on it, no problems in 2 years. and the other truck has BF Goodwrench radial ta's on it, my oppinion the best set of tires out of all three. 75k tires, put 100k on them and still have 1/4-1/2 tread on them.

    I have Wrangler Radials on my Jeep for everyday use. They were the cheapest tires Wal-Mart had. I have a set of BF Goodrich Mud Terrains for when I go off road.

    I'm surprised that no one is using Michelin LTX series.

    I have Michelin XCS/APT came on my truck used with 73,000 miles on it.
    No paperwork to determine when they actually were bought and put on the truck. Going on 5 yrs later I am within a cpl hundred miles of 140,000 and
    never had any problem with em and only rotated them twice in that span.
    AND THERES STILL PLENTY OF MEAT LEFT ON EM.

    I had new shocks put on a few yrs back and the guy was a Michelin dealer.
    I asked about the tires and he said that particular tire is made exclusively for and only available at Sears and they were $160 ea.

    ************************************************** *******

    I ran Arizonans for nearly 15 yrs on all my trucks that were available thru the chain Discount Tire Co. They were $90 ea., had a 70,000 mile warrantee, I had excellent service outta them.
