I have BF Goodrich Long Trail TA's, they cost me about $500. in 245/75R16, like quoted earlier they have a 50K warranty, I have about 60K on mine with 25% tread left, will be replaceing mine after summer.
I have Primewell on my G/F's truck which are sought of noisy, mostly in parking lots ETC.. The BFG's were awesome in some bad snow storms over the last 2 yrs, the primewells not so much.
Pep Boys Definity Dakota HT's is a nice looking tire and is a knock off of Cooper which I see alot, I like the way they look but know nothing about them.

Also check out tirebuyer.com you can get a set of 4 tires shipped for little over $400.

keep in mind, for tire warranties to be valid, you need to show proof of balance and rotation (by professionals) every 6K miles, or you get shafted. That is why I just had it done at sears. They give lifetime rotate and balance. That is about a 40 dollar value every 6K miles.

Yeah it's real smooth, most of the roads near me aren't very smooth, except the highways. But I think theyre great tires, just had to get a new one put on the other day after I ran over a huge bolt.

Man that sucks, I have a screw in my passenger front but there is no way I'm taking it out haha. I will probably buy the ones you have.
