Best All Around Tire?

[MisterE]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for the Best All around tire for my H3. I live in Michigan and split my time driving my H3 for the usual driving to the store and stuff but most my summer driving is my Solstice (Way to go GM 2 Kick Ass Vehicle's in 1 year). So I'm looking for something that will be good in the snow, then I don't get to do a ton of off roading but I would say when I do it is a mix of 30% trail 50% sand and 20% real muddy. I have had BF T/A in the past and found them to be not too rough on road and good enough off road but I would like something a bit more aggressive, thinking maybe BF M/T? Also I'm thinking stick with 33's on Adventure Package just to keep with the travel as they already rub at full compression?

Your wisdom to the novice off-roader would be appreciated!

Thanks Guys

PS

Something that doesn't break the bank would rock as well.

(Anyone want stock tires with 2K miles and 1 year old can get a hell of deal)

1. Get tires in 315/75R16. If you're going to spend $$$ on tires get the size you REALLY do want.

2. You live in MI. As I understand it lots of snow and ice. Just like in MA. Due to this look for a tire that is siped. The BFG AT KO is siped. The BFG M/T is not. If you get the M/T plan on the extra $$ to have them siped.

3. I love my BFG AT KO's everywhere except for sticky mud. Everywhere else they totally rock. In sticky mud they suck.

4. Take a look at the Toyo M/T, and the Cooper STT. Both are really serious M/T tires and both are siped. If I could do it over again I would go in this direction. If you can live with the sticky mud suckyness then the BFG AT KO rocks.

Good luck.

I'd go with a black rubber tire with a hole in the middle so you can put it on a rim. And I wouldn't get the rubberband model.

Just my opinion.

He should be.

Fine. Get the Toyo M/T's or the KO's in 35". You'll be very pleased. The Toyo's are nice and quiet on the highway, too.
