[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2971324, member: 1535"] I buy and sell a quite a few used vehicles on the side as a hobby and usually always put new rubber on them when I get em in even tho I know I will usually sell it before I come close to wearing those new sets of tires out. Good tires really help sell a vehicle tho so its worth it to me. The only 2 vehicles I have ever bought brand new, late 80s, I still have. My lil S-10 Blazer 4x4 and a lifted K5 Blazer 4x4. They both just love their BFG A/T KOs, cant wear em out. Ive driven to CA and back regularly since moving out here in 03', that's been a lot of miles and a lot of tires on several different SUVs. My current roadwarrior, a GMC SUV, is what I use on my road trips to CA, CO and all across the country on work related or just fun trips. On it Im sticking with just some good fat m&s tires all year round. Im running 275/40(f),45(r)-20s. When Discount Tire opened in BA I changed from my long time business with Robertsons and saved a ton of money on new tires. The SUV is 2x2/RWD but gets around great in winter on just some good m&s tires. The guy I bought it from had modded it to hell and was running performance/summer tires on it all year. Right now Im rocking some Yokohoma Parada Spec Xs that 2 years later still look great and still have tons of tread. They've been excellent tires especially in rain. On snow, fast driving, and long distance driving theyre pretty ok too. Out of 4 new tires bought over 2 years ago only one has failed to hold air steadily. After taking it to Discount Tire and having it remounted, rebalanced and checked out it hasn't lost any air since. Good tires. 2 RWD Japanese hotrod sports cars I have don't put that many miles put on them so I run fairly expensive 315/40-20 performance/summer tires in summer and they may get changed to m&s tires in the winter if I plan on driving them in winter. Over the years messing with the sports cars Ive ran Hankooks, Nittos, etc, and have had nothing but good luck with them.
