Hi all.
While browsing through Google i saw this Forum that seemed a good place for me to place the following question.
I currently have a Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero) 3.2 DI-D (160HP). The stock tires are 265/70R16, and it's the measure i wish to keep.
What i wanted to know is, what are the best tires i can get (money is not much of an issue), keeping in mind that:
1. I don't do off-road;
2. They have to be all-season (weather in Portugal is pretty unpredictable);
3. I drive mainly in motorways, highways and some "stone pavement" streets (typical country road in Portugal).
4. My driving is somewhat agressive (i need good handling, cornering, ...)
5. They need to last long :)
To this point, i narrowed the tires to 4 models, but i also would like to know some other opinions, in case i didn't do my choice correctly.
Here's what i got untill now:
1. YOKOHAMA GEOLANDER H/T-S
2. FALKEN ZIEX S/TZ04
3. BRIDGESTONE DUELER A/T REVO
4. TOYO PROXES S/T
I'm looking forward to hear your opinions.
Thanks in advance.
Ricardo Santos.

They all sound good, I know a lot of SUV's like your Mitsubishi Montero and similar vehicles have Toyo Proxes, but talk to Grant@TireRack, he is a moderator in this forum and should be able to give you some good advice.
