New Tires any suggestions
I will need new Tires next year
I’m a city street driver mostly and 2WD looking for some great all-season tires for the Dak thinking about some Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S tires.
Tires I need 235/75R 15 or possibly 225/75R 15 around 28/29 in height with around a 50K or higher life
Looking for a smooth quiet ride no tires that go RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR down the road
Any Good suggestions

I put Firestone Destination LE2's on my truck back in July, could not be happier with them. 235/75R15. Real quiet, super smooth ride, very comfortable and my MPG went up too. Great tire and they had a $50.00 gift card rebate too. I paid about $500.00 mounted, balanced, out the door, $450.00 if you count the rebate. These are the second generation of the earlier LE, they are much better than the first generation and they have a different tread pattern and rubber compound. They run great in the rain and on dry roads too. Super traction. I don't go off road. The LE is a great street tire, I have heard it is the best selling truck tire in the USA right now.

I had Yoko's on my first wife's Mustang years ago, they did fine and I am sure Geolandar's are fine nowadays too, I have no clue about the Geolandar, never used them before. I have never had much luck with Goodyear. My first Dakota was a 2000 SLT Club Cab, it had Goodyears on it from the factory, I think I had to replace them at 40,000 miles, maybe it was 50,000. They were OK but I think better tires can be had for the same or less money. My 2003 Ram had Goodyears on it too but I traded it in before it needed new tires, truck had maybe 30,000 miles on it at the time.
I like these Firestone Destination LE2's a lot. I had a set of the first gen LE, they did OK but got loud and rough riding around 42,000 miles. I bought some BFG Long Trail T/A's after that, they were cheap and did OK but had belt separation problems and also had slight cupping problems, the front tires were feathered a good bit. The alignment on my truck may have been to blame for that, but I never noticed any alignment problems myself. I had my truck aligned when I got these new LE2's, and paid extra for the lifetime alignment so I am covered if I ever do have alignment problems.

My Dakota came with Goodyear Invicta's and they were crap wore out fast but I have Goodyear Tracker 2's now from Wal-Mart that have been ok just not very good on wet roads they sucked but lasted me 5 years.
I think most OEM Tires on new cars are crap now so I don't judge by them they are never Quality tires.
Thanks again
