Default Which one?

http://treadwright.com/Tires-245_75R16_OTR-P40.aspx

$372.84 to my door.


http://www.treadepot.com/proddetail.html

Here is what the Cooper tire looks like.

$468 to my door.

Let me know if the links dont work.

http://www.treadepot.com/shoppingcar...clkGactfBhdPva

$432 to my door.

The last three are in stock DI size, which I prefer.
I have had the Toyo before on my Montero, great tire.
I have had the Cooper on my work vans, awesome tire.

I called some tire shops today and they want outragous prices for these tires, $568 for the General, $650 for the Cooper and $504 for the Toyo.
I prefer the Cooper but dont know if I want to spend the extra $$.

What do you guys think?

The price is what really appeals to me on the Tread Wright tires, but they are plus sized and have a deeper tread so they will be a much much bigger tire, not to sure how well they will fit and they only have a 30k warrenty.

I am partial to BFG All Terrains, although I had one on my Jeep disintegrate while I was on the freeway several months back. They kicked absolute *** in the snow, and tore up some mud when I was in Florida. $165.00 a pop though...damn.

Right now I have a set of the BFG A/T KO's on my work van and they suck hairy squirll nuts.
I get stuck if I even think of snow, not to mention that they were brand new in Nov and will need to be replaced in the next month or so.

No I do not have a Big O tire shop around here.

That's strange. They were on the Jeep when I got it a year ago (and weren't new even at that), and other than the one that flew to pieces, I've had no complaints whatsoever. No problems in the snow, no problems in the mud, nothing. Hell, I've put 45,000 miles on them; all over Ohio, Florida and back, all over Ohio some more, to go get the Disco and back, another 800 miles...I probably have another 8-10 months in them. You must have gotten the Monday or the Friday batch or something, because the BFG's and some old Yokohama YK420's I had on my Oldsmobile are the best tires I've ever had.

But of the tires you have listed up there Spike, I'm kinda digging the Coopers.
