    Cooper Discoverer S/T better tires at half the price of the others.

    Depending on where you are in Jersey I can even tell you where to get them.

    I have used Bridgestone most of the time - great traction, great treadlife, quiet, and reliable. The next tire for my truck I get will be the Firestone Destination A/Ts. They are rated the best, and since I don't have a Ford ExploDer I should be gravy! ;)

    That being said, I have had good experiences with the Yokohama GeoLanders, Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor, Cooper S/T, and General A/Ts.
