Any recommendations on good new tires for this van? What have you used? I am in NJ, so they need to be snow-worthy. And quiet would be good to....

I have Michelin Hydroedge tires. They last a long, long time (treadwear rating is 760) are quiet and a good tire. Not sure about their snow capability. It doesnt snow here a lot but they seem ok when it does.

I ended up ordering Kumho Solus KH16 225/60/16 tires, they came with really good reviews from other users on tirerack.com, and they were only $180 for a set of 4!

That is a good price. Course you have to pay shipping and then to have them mounted and balance but prolly still way less spendy than the Michelins. Hope they work out well for you.

Tires, including shipping $240
Mount, balance and install $75
4 wheel alignment $70

Total $385
Not bad for a highly rated 60,000 mile tire, including the alignment!

I own a 94 villager in NJ, have used Toyo from STS, and Michelins from BJ's. Go to BJ's, good price, free rotations and flats fixed. I commute 80 miles a day mostly highway all year and they handle graet in snow. I also sometimes drive slightly in excess of limits (you know the NJTP) and loved them in rain and snow. Unless STS is offering free alignment, I go BJ's. Oh, I put Mich's from BJ's on my Lexus sports coupe, And Kia MV.
