I have Yokahamo tires on mine after my '05 ate 17k miles thru the stockers. . .
I don't know the size, but here is a tip, I like getting mine from Discount tire, and I called Big O first to get a quote on some Khumo's, they gave me a quote, I went to discount and told them Big O would do it for such and suck (I think I told them like $50 cheaper than the actual quote) so discount said they would do it for that price, then they only had 3 of the Khumo tires, so they upgraded me to the Yoko's, $588 for $900 worth of tires. . . and they have 60k mile waranty

talisman - didn't mean to insult your tires lol. khumo can make some good ones, these ones just weren't one of the better. they were a performance tire, but that was a stretch of the word. i also had no confidence in them in the rain, which is why i really prefer my eagle's. yea they were more expensive, but worth it to me.

I probably have the most unpopular tires on here... Nankang NS I's.... They were cheap and I love em. Grip good and have a pretty good wear rating. Only downfall I have found is that they are quick to turn brown, but that is nothing a little tire treatment won't take care of. They clean up pretty nice!

A local tire store will put on a set of Kumho W rated ECSTA ASX'x for $509 inc everything... is that a decent deal? It's a small local shop I've used forever... back into the latter seventies and my Alfa Romeo days. They fixed a flat today for my '05 Liberty (Wrangler SR-A's - with 22k miles and hardly any wear!) for $7.50... pretty reasonable these days. Thanks!
