I'm now on my eighth set of tires which were installed today. All were stock size 16".
3/25/00- I started with the stock 'Stones, of course. Hated 'em. Black wall and terrible in the snow. Junked 'em way early.
4/10/01- 14,265- Michelin Cross Terrain SUV. Poor mileage for $150 each.
10/08/02- 41,908- BF Goodrich Open Trail T/A. Cheap tire with poor mileage.
10/07/03- 62,956- Dunlop Rover A/T. Decent mileage for an A/T.
10/08/04- 89,550- Toyo Open Country A/T. Decent mileage for an A/T.
1/31/06- 117,756- Mastercraft Courser A/T. Cheap tire with decent mileage for an A/T.
4/24/07- 145,551- Cooper Discoverer H/T. Very quiet and smooth riding with good mileage.
8/13/08- 176,110- Cooper Discoverer H/T. My first repeat tire 'cuz they're soooo quiet and smooth.
You can't always be smooth, but your tires should be.
BTW, the wear on all these tires has been incredibly even. No unusual wear marks at all. I've had seven front end alignments and do a fair amount of rotating.
