Default Stockish size tire suggestions.... 20"

I've been looking on ebay mostly for good replacement tires for my 20's. My stock gy's are no good and at least one is pretty wickedly out of balance. They were pretty pathetic even in 3wd in snow.

I need a good all season tire for the moderate snow we get here as well as something that wont get me stuck in a grassy/light mud slick. I'd like to keep the cost under $600 for the set if possible and in the stockish size to preserve (or improve mpg). I see Cooper Discoverer HT's on ebay pretty cheap. Pirelli Scorpion ATR's??

Let me know what you guys think

Well I can't help with the price, but I suggest the Cooper Zeon LTZ. They are an awsome tire, and if you could swing $1000 installed, you wouldn't be disappointed.

Are you by chance looking for a new set of stocks?

I know nobody likes them, but I'm looking to get rid of mine and they only have 5,000 on them.

On my truck I had stock 17's, but I had an upgrade on wheels and tires. Anyways I ended up getting a 20 in. rim with a Cooper LTZ tire. The tires are [retty rugged and take alot of punishment. The tire that I have 275-60-20 fits the stock 20 rim on a Dodge truck, I know cause a cousin of mine wanted to trade tires(*******). I recently bought them at Discount Tire. That is where I get all my tires and wheels. I did get an awesome price because they ****edme over on another set of tires and wheels but that is another story. Look at the pics inmy galley and tell me what you think.

I reccomend the toyo a/t's. I have em an like em, but they are about 290 each mounted and balanced. They last a long time though.

Toyo A/T's and Mickey Thompson ATZ's both have a solid reputation for handling and snow/mud/trail prowess. They both also wear about as well as any A/T made, but to get a premium tire like those that can get 60k+ miles of life is gonna run you more than your budget...

[IMG]local://upfiles/81798/AFF845393F154D768BBA2CE4610144E3.jpg[/IMG] sand terrain (which they say is also a very good all terrain with less noise and the tread patter is rediculously sweet as sex)
