Default Need New Tires

Hey Everyone

I have to get new tires on my 00 D2. The guy I bought it from have Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow. I Live just outside of Philly so they ice and snow isn't really needed too much. I want to do some off-roading, It's my daily driver so they should be a nice all around tire. Any thoughts? Oh yeah I have the stock 16 inch wheels on there.

Thumbs up

I like my Cooper Discoverers really well, quiet on the road, pretty good traction in most conditions . If you were going to be in the serious mud I would reccommend a little more aggressive tread pattern though. I drive in the snow a lot and these suit me fine.

X2 on the Cooper Discoverers, but slightly noisier than a standard AT tires in my opinion. I have used these on my 2003 and 2000 D2.

for ATs I'd look at General Grabbers and Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo.

I have these and I swear by them.

Here in MI we get about 90" of snow a year and I have no problems getting around, they do great in mud too.
These would be my second choice.

And my third choice.

Not sure if you got new tires, but I put a set of 265 -16 Bridgstone Revos on a 04 with the RR 16 rims it was unstoppable in the Utah deep snow.
I like these tire they last a long time they are quiet on the road and the sidewalls are thick so its hard to damage them.
I got them at Costco and took the wheels in off the truck as they were not interested in installing these tires since they didnt list a fitment on the computer system, something about liability.
they were OK about installing the tires onto rims without any truck to reference

i like the revos!

but you might have a typo above, the biggest tire you can go with on stock D2 is 245/75/16. (or 265/70/16, harder to find)
