i bought hankooks for the wifes Mini and they have been great

 

I had hankooks on my old 03 dakota, worst tires ever in the snow. I couldnt get out of the driveway... Put on some general grabber AT2s and they were a serious improvement. Overall though, my mickey thompson's are the best tire i've ever owned. I've got 30k on them and they are at about 70-80% tread left - I'll get at least 40k more out of them at this rate. Of course the MTZs may be overkill for a road tire, but if they speak as an example for MT quality, then there you have it.

 

Yep, I had 68k on my first set of Mickey's, the old MTX's which preceded the MTZs and they still had tread left, but I traded the truck in. I agree with you, Mickey Thompson/Dick Cepek tires have no equal when it comes to performance and longevity, but they COST! My current Cepek FCIIs have 32k on them and are probably still over 90% tread! But they are among the most expensive tires out there. You get what you pay for...

I dont usually chime in on these threads bcause opinions R like @55#0135, everyone has one. But I have to express my dissatisfaction with my Hancook Ventus AS tires. Absolutely suck in snow and wet conditions. I will be looking at Coopers and Generals next time around.

 

i have been looking on discounttiredirect.com they have free shipping but they dont have copper tires

 

I don't think anyone carried copper tires, they'd look silly... LMAO...


But they do appear to have Cooper tires, as well as Nitto and Generals which are all excellent brands. I know why they offer free shipping too, the same Terra Grappler (165/70/17) I put on my Grand Cherokee I paid $127.50 a pop for locally, they want $165...


In a 20" tire, that ain't gonna happen. All the "kiddies" with their big, honkin' 20" wheels have the price of big, useless 20" tires at a premium,which is ridiculous since there is less material in a 20" tire of the same diameter of a 17" tire. In a 17" tire, there'd be a LOT of choices in your price range...

 

ok should i go local then or order online?? if so what website..tire rack charges alot for shipping

 

Try Discount Tire Direct on ebay.

 

y did my tire wear the way it did anyway?

 

i like those copper zeons and nitto terra's but there r expensive??..r they worth it?? how long will they last?..and whats the best size for my stock 20inch wheels
