Hi Jack,

I've spent a hundred hours researching tires for my Toyota Land Cruiser. The best truck tires are the Michelin LTX M/S2 or ANY tire from Michelin. I belong to a Land Cruiser forum and those hardcore owners rave about these tires. Also, this tire is the highest rated tire by Consumer Reports as well.

Having been a tire dealer since 1982 & replacing defective michelin tires for customers & not getting reimbursed by michelin because "we do not make a defective product",that was their policy for many yrs., I will never again buy any michelin tire.Have been a fan & user of Cooper Discoverers since the mid 80's ,the Discoverer AT3 is a very good & aggressive all season tire suited for your vehicle if any off road or much snow driving is planned.Pay high dollar for tires from a company that does not care or buy resonably priced tires from a company that does care about their customers.

TireRack.com and install them yourself.

Best thing I ever did was buy my own tire machine & spin balancer. Suddenly I had no more loose, stripped, or missing lug nuts, or mysterious dents & scratches in my vehicles. ;)

We've got Michelins on our Grand Marquis - 4 years, so far so good. Bridgestone makes real good tires, IMO - the OEM set on my Silverado lasted 33k miles (a personal record).

There really isn't a "bad" tire out there anymore, since there are lawyers waiting in the wings for a manufacturing defect. I usually go on Tirerack's website and look up a particular tire, and see how it's rated. If there are lots of complaints from people with a similar vehicle as mine, I'll steer clear.

They've got the BEST customer service too - I had one tire with a defective bead that would not hold 1 psi of air. Called them up, and less than 12 hours later, I had a new one in my hand. Couldn't have done better buying locally. If you don't have a way to mount them, you can have them sent to the shop of your choice for installation. I HIGHLY recommend these guys.
