Any deals on 4 new P265/70R16? Brand advice??

Looking for advice on good tires for a fair price or if anyone knows of any great sales/rebates happening in South Orange County, CA! I have a 2003 Chevy Tahoe and need 4 new P265/70R16 but I don't know what brands are better than others, etc. My husband and I put on mostly highway miles, no off-road, occasional snow terrain on ski trips but otherwise it's tooling around SoCal and trips to Vegas and back. Any suggestions for brands and a good deal on decent tires? Thanks for any help!

First off Welcome aboard. Check with tirerack.com. They tend to be cheaper. Also you can just bring them to a tire/alignement. or another shop to have them installed. Also stay away from the stealer. I mean dealer because they will charge you a fortune to do it. I like BF-Goodrich, Toyo, and Sumothumo(sp?) tires. I currently have toyos they give a nice ride and have been on for a long time. I bought the car from my mom. I will check for when she had tires tomorrow morning and repost the milage(provided its on the bill). My friend had BF-Goodrich G-Force Drag Radial T/As on his camaro and they lasted great considering they weren't meant for daily driving just basically going to the track and back. He also has Sumothumos on the camaro for the winter and had them on the fronts only till about two weeks ago(he got for back too). The fronts ones had survived lots of burnouts and racing at the track. He has had them on them on for about 20,000 miles now and they still have alot of meat left. I made sure to do plenty of ripping around and burnouts to even out the tread on the back tires. But yeah those three tire companies I'd buy from. I know Michellens are pretty good as well. There is alot out there but the first three companies are my choices. Also I'd go to an LT series tire. You may lose some comfort, handling but will get much better traction then the passenger tires on the truck.

I appreciate your help Cowboy! At least now I have a few I can look into without feeling so blind on the subject.

Not a problem. From what I hear Toyo puts out a nice LTseries tire.

Thanks! I'll be making the rounds tomorrow so we have a shot at a nice smooth ride to Vegas for Christmas.

Happy Holidays!
