Re: need new tires Sugesstions?

What tires are you running on the front ? What wheels ? Any photos ? Finding a tire that fits all of the requirements "well" is difficult, especially in a 15in. .I'm also curious as to what some of the answers will be.

245/60R15 for the rear: BFG Radial T/A. Just don't ever rotate them to the front. They don't like strut suspension. But they're good wear, good grip, good rain, good snow, good mud. Not great at any of that, but certainly good.
I haven't tried the Mastercraft Avengers, but I have tried the Cooper Cobras. Same comment for them as for the BFG, but the BFG is better than the Cooper in every way.
I also haven't tried the latest Mickey Thompsons.
