I just got some cooper discover ht pluses. I bought them because they were cheap ($120 a tire!) i just needed something to get me by since the belts let go in 3 of my stock crapyears. I am surprised at how well these tires hook up on and off road. They are also a very nice looking tire. If you want to save some money and have a nice tire, look into these.

Those are a some nice looking tires and copper does have a good rep. Now I just need a lower profile size from my stock tire size.the stock tire size is 275/60r20 so what are some sizes to have a lower profile tire. The width is just fine but it could go wider if I had to.oh and Is it the first number (p275)or the second number (60)that tells you the side wall size? Thanks
i found some tires finally. I purchased some Hancook Ventus's. They look really good. i went down a few sizes which made the truck look so much better.
I replaced my GYs with teh Kuhmo SXTs. They are directional tire. They have worked great so far in the rain and on the street. Real quiet also on the street.
Look into Sam's club and the BFG Long Trail T/A tires. I had these on my Ford and will be putting them on my 08 Ram when it's time for tires. They should last twice as long and have a good ride and good all weather traction. Priced right too!!
I have the Long Trails on my Grand Cherokee, I bought it and the previous owner had just put them on. After 23k miles, there is still a bunch of tread and they ride really nice on the road.
My only issue with them is that I've had two flats now. One I got off the pavement while fishing in the back country, the other on the highway on vacation just a couple weeks ago. I'm not blaming the tires, but I am planning a 2" lift on the Jeep so I can get into a more performing A/T tire like a Mickey Thompson ATZ or Nitto Terra Grappler. Something with a better ply rating. I'm using the Jeep a lot more for trips up to the farm to save over the road wear and tear on the truck and just need a tire that will still allow me to work and play when I get there...

Yes, that is a gun in my pocket and No, I am not happy to see you!
For a 2wd street truck, the Long Trail T/A's are great. Would work well on a Mall Crawler as well.
They have a treadwear rating of like 560. Long lasting. My 01 F150 never got stuck in the Mud or snow with them. Rarely got offroad though. I'm a city boy.
Personally, because I do off-roading in the desert and mountains I have Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors with Kevlar. They are excellent and have a better treadwear rating than the Wrangler HPs and they are even quieter on the road than the HP's.
However, if you are looking for a street tire, Pirelli makes some excellent tires, I have them on my Mercedes and they are superb.
I hope I could have helped.
P.S. TireRack has an explanation of all the tire size and etc. things I think.

Lowly 2nd gen guy chiming in here. I just went through this hair pulling descision myself.
Ended up with a set of Hankook LT's they are a 10ply tire. All season. http://www.hankooktireusa.com/produc...il.asp?pid=399
Our 1-Ton truck had a set of Cooper Discoverer LT Load Range E tires on it. They made it over 60,000 miles. The coopers have a similar tread pattern as the hankooks in the link above.
