I am looking for some good tires. Tires that are good for all season and good on rain/ice/snow. I know winter tires would be the best, but I don't want to have 2 sets of tires - putting winter tires on for only winter.

2005 dodge dakota P245/70R16 and apparently P265/70R16 can be an alternative

Any suggestions?

Thanks

 

If you're not looking for big diameter rims/tires, I suggest Michelin LTX-2. Mine are 255/65R16. Stock size. Major improvement over the Goodyears.

 

Go with the 265/70/16, looks much better than the 245's IMO. What type of tire are you looking for? A street or All Terrain tire, there are quite a few to choose from.

 

honestly for the money they are kinda pricey but the BFG Allterrains are good...make the ride a bit more comfortable and also doesn't add road noise at all that i noticed!

 

I have a hard on for coopers right now. I doubt they have zeons in that size, but the Discoverers are an option

 

I switch to the 255/65R16 on my wifes Durango and it has a much better ride

 

I just put a set of Michelin LTX A/T2 in 265/70R16 size. A huge improvment over the stock Goodyear tires. I have to update the picture in my signature. Cost me $909 out the door.

 

pepboys got the definity dakota a/t "buy 3 and get the 4 tire for a dollar" and they are good tires. i was goin to buy them for my new rims but they don't come on size 18. check them out. good luck !!!

 

Destinations have always gotten great ratings and everybody who I've ever heard from who owns them loves them, but I don't see too many of them around?

I can't vouch for snow, but the Nitto Terra Grapps I put on my Grand Cherokee (265/70/17s) were VERY affordable ($121.50 per) and they stick to both wet and dry asphalt like velcro. I've even had them in a bit of red clay/mud gettin' to south Georgia fishin' holes and they did surprisingly well...

 

Nitto Terra Grappler lasted my dad 50k on his H2
