Need some tire help

slikirish · January 16th, 2011, 12:17 PM

It's time to put new tires on my wife's mariner. Tire size is 235/70/16. I can't decide on what to go with. We drive her car 200 miles a day for work in all conditions. Here is what I need.

-Good dry pavement traction
-Good wet pavement traction
-Decent snow handling
-Great wear life
-Budget doesn't matter, they don't have to be cheap.

I was thinking Goodyear Fortera Tripletreds, but have read that some people are only getting 35,000 out of them even though they claim 80,000. Also looked at General Grapper HPS (per consumer reports) but have heard they don't get great wear life either.

I need help, opinions, suggestions, whatever.

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo.

I have them on my Expedition, and after 49k miles, there is still probably 20k more miles worth of tread on them, and I don't wait until they are bald to replace them.

I have driven them in light snow and ice and they handled that great, they are also excellent in the rain. They ride great, are quiet and give good dry traction as well. I would definitely recommend them.

I will look into all of those. Probably ordering tires today.
