Isn't the Goodyear tire the best option for a PPV?

Mine came with the Good Year HT load range E's on it. I ran them for a while until they wore out. I replaced them with Michelin defenders, also load range E. It's been a good tire. They can take a curb like it's nobody's business. I've got about 40k on them now and they will probably reach 60k.

What tire size do you have?
I am looking for LT tires for my 2012 PPV with load rating E and cant find them from any manufacturer. 265/60 R17.

That's the tires I have on this North Dakota PPV with 74k miles, that I bought in February, mine are dated 18 and have dry rot cracks in between the treads on the two rear tires.

I just put a new set of Khumo Crugens on my PPV. Stock size, I really like the ride.

I still don't see any reason for someone to put those RSA's back on. o_O Going up in sidewall size made one of the biggest differences for ride, when I switched over the Continentals. I actually dropped width and profile a little this go around when I moved to Michelin XLT's. You get what you pay for I suppose, these were just under $200/ but the ride is even better than the Conti with the taller sidewall.

I personally only run Goodyears, BFGs or Nitto tires.

My PPV came with some cheap china garbage tires. I replaced them with Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW3 tires in OEM size (265/60-17) amazing in the rain. I got them from Sam's club when they had them on sale for $52 ea.........wish I have bought several sets at the time; not theyre upwards of $200 per tire.

We run Finnish or Russian made Nokians up where I work. WR-G3’s or WR-G4’s “All Weather” tires. They outperform low-end snow tires in the winter and work great on dry pavement in the summer heat.
