highway tires for a '97 D1
OK, I'll admit it. My truck leads a VERY soft life. I basically haul the kids to & from practices and games with the occasional trip to my parents. Almost exclusively highway driving.
I currently have General Grabber HTS 235/70R16 which have been fine but are getting to the end of their life.
While highway comfort is primary, foul weather is a strong secondary consideration because travelling cannot be interrupted when it is pouring out or there is light/medium snow on the ground.
What experiences, expertise, or suggestions do you guys have?

Nokian Tyres... They are made/designed in Finland... they have some pretty crappy weather... rain, snow, slush, sleet, etc.
I got on to them several years ago for my car at the time, and their All-Weather tires made a huge difference in snow and ice... ran them all year round and they lasted 3+ years with amazing grip in the winter time. Hydroplaning is non existent! These aren't a winter tire... they are better than anything I have seen, and anyone I have turned on to them doesn't look back.
Great on road tires, as well as good light off road.
I am getting rid of my BFG T/A KO tires as the 10 ply is too rough for smooth highway cruising, and also the tread began to lose grip in the rain and snow within a year of having them and not doing very much off road trails.
My $0.02 Best of luck!
