Tire Recommendations

[land crzy]

Ok, truck is out of balance and dealer today tried to sell me 255/60/18 Goodyear HP All weather XL for 268.40,
I have read the poor reviews and need a recommendation for season long highway driving and light off road / snow?
All responses appreciated.

I fitted my LR3 with Pirelli Scorpion 255/55/19. It feels like a brand new vehicle. They ride and handle great! So far, driving the midwest storm this season has been a breeze. My Goodyears failed miserably, twice.

Ditto. I have a set of Terra Grapplers on my 2000 F350 Crew Cab and they handle it great. I punish the heck out of them and they just laugh at me and keep on going. They have a nice looking aggressive tread pattern, yet are reasonably quiet on the highway. Great Tire.

I thought I was the only one with issues. Have 16K miles on my 2006 LR3 and I thought the thing had some type of alignment issue, but in fact, just sorry OEM tires. When these things are finished wearing out, probably at around 20-25K miles, I'll be putting Terra Grapplers back on.

I have Terra Grapplers on my 2000 F350 Crew Cab and those things are bullet proof. I punish the heck out of those tires and they just laugh at me and ask me if that's all I have! Great tires. Nice looking aggressive tread pattern, yet reasonably quiet on the highway (maybe I just can't hear them over the diesel engine).

I have been very happy with the Goodyear SA tire both on and off road. They have 25K on now and still look new.

Aggressive tread
Reinforced side walls w/ rim guard
Mountain snowflake rated
Super quiet on road

they have been great in mud,clay ,snow, heavy rain, Rocky Mts and handle well on ice.
