So, it's time for new tires on my '06 Ranger Sport 4x4.
I'll be going with the stock size (255/70R16).
I've narrowed it down to either the:
BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO for $1100 out the door or;
Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armour for $1200 out the door.
Now, I don't do a whole lot of offroading. The occasional farmer's road that may or may not be wet/muddym, and a few gravel roads. Mainly, I want a nice, aggressive tire for these Winnipeg winters. We get lots of snow and ice for about 5 months of the year here. I want great performance through deep snow, as well as traction when the snow has been packed down and turned into an icy material. At the same time, the tire needs to last as long as possible. I'm looking for durability here. I don't really care about road noise or comfort, as the Ranger has neither of those to begin with.
I'm leaning towards the BFG's, as they're a little cheaper and, IMO, look a hell of a lot better than the Goodyears. That being said, I'm not ruling out the good years because they're a very popular tire, and are obviously very good.
