Hi All, I'm a new member here. I have a 2000 XLS and I am in need of tires......again. Now, i am no expert, so maybe someone who is more competent in tires, can give me some suggestions. I have purchased 2 sets of tires in 4 years.  I have no idea if that is good or not but I am looking for good tires that last longer. My last tires were 18in Yokohama's. Any suggestions? Please.... |

you have 18" rims?
Most 18" tires are "sticky" and hold the road REALLY well and thus wear quickly.
I have the stock 16" rims on our 2001 and have Michelin LTX A/T 265/75R16 tires and have put 47,000 miles on them and expect to get at LEAST another 20,000 miles. I still have half tread left.

Yup, seems like all the varieties of the yokos tend to be made from a very soft compound.
I'd look into a radial with a tread life warranty.
My BFG Mud Terrains came with a 40,000 mile warranty.
Not bad for mudders.

I have a MS 2001 XLS & I have some 17" BFG All Terrain KO & they are great. I have had Goodyear, Yokohama,Michellin but I like BFG better. I am getting BFG again when i need too.

I put Goodrich Dueler A/T Revo's on about a month ago. So far I am pleased with them. They are very quiet and they look great. They have done well in the snow we have had.

I have Dunlop Radial Rover A/T tires. They do great for all around driving. They have performed well in the snow and mud. They're also good for just around town.

If u have 18's I'm guessing u dont have much need for the dulers or any of the other tires mentioned. I have the dulers but only use them for the winter time. If I were u I would look into getting a set of the kuhmo ecstas that I have. they dont run much and have a very deep tread for what they r and are made for street use. they are also of a harder compound and should last a long time. Check them out on tire rack. Kuhmo may have came out with a newer version now and they r comparible to yoko's or any other high dollar tire.
