hi everyone well I broke down and finally got new tires. I took your advise and went to 245r7016 and boy what a difference it made. (cooper, discovery) nice tread they look good raised white letters.
thanks for the advice on the tires

 

That's what I have and Love them. DiscovererATR's with almost 45K on them, and they still look like they will go another 20 at least...

 

I am glad to hear about the mileage on them and they sound like they will hold up well.
