Put on a set of General Grabber All Terrains.  I wanted a more aggressive look.  Runing 215-75-15's on stock suspension setup on stock rims.

I run those in the winter, (205/75-15) but they are a little noisier. With the new muffler my tires are the loudest thing in the car.

I ran Cooper for years because they were inexpensive and a good performing all-season tire. They were available locally at a shop where I lived and always a good $20 or so cheaper a tire then anything at Sears, and hardly more expensive then generic tire. I thought they were a good balance between cheap and good.

Now I have some Yokohamas I got online at about half price a tire plus shipping, and they have done really well for me.

I, also, have a set of Cooper A4 all season 215-65R15 on Jeep rims.  Right now I have the Firestone 205/70r15 on the front and the Coopers on the rear.  They have the same diameter so no problem in 4wd.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7's 205 65 15




http://www.nokiantyres.com/tyre?id=12091290&group=1.01&name=Nokian+Hakkapeliitta+7

That's gonna be my next winter tire... 

for winter, I have Uniroyal Tigerpaw studded tires.  They were really cheap (in 2004 I paid $480 installed and studded) so it was a cost thing, but they just did their 6th winter. 

In summer, I have Pirelli P3000 touring/high mileage tires (135,000) for summer.  They are coming up to their 5th summer.

My dad works for Kal Tire (those outside western Canada probably won't know that name), so I get some smokin' deals on tires.  I run 205-75-15 Nokian Vatiiva on the Eagle year round.  My wife's Corolla and Cube have Nokian WRG2 on them for the summer, and the Cube has studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 for the winter (just like Priya has shown above).

My Concords ride on whatever I find at Pick-n-Pull.  ;D
