Good Tires

[BlenderWizard]

I am about to begin looking for a new set of tires, and I am wondering what tires are good for getting traction on wet/rainy roads? I currently have Firestone tires, which came with the wheels. If the roads are wet (like today), I can just BARELY touch the gas pedal and my rear end breaks loose. I need 265/70/r16, if you need that.

Michelin LTX M/S?

are you going to light up your tires before you change them??

I have had great experiences with a few different brands. My latest tires are Toyo Open Country A/T's. I have also had great tread life and performance with Avon Radial SXT's, Multi-Mile Wild Country Radial RVT's and APT's. All of them have been off road type tires. So if that is the type of tire you looking for they are great choices.

I have mulitmile Wild Country TXR's on my work truck they are awesome tires.


These are the front tires, as it is 2wd. They are Mutli-mile Matrix's

best tire i ever owned is the wrangler ats awesome tire in rain mud and snow. not sure if they sell em in the states but we have em up in canada

[rustcal]

Yes They Do Sell The Wrangler Ats In The States. I Had Them On My Dodge And They Were A Very Good Tire. My Only Problem With Them Was Once The Tread Was About 50% Gone They Were Very Slick On Wet Roads. I Had Them Sipped Which Helped For A While But Not Very Long. They Still Had Pretty Good Tread Left When I Bought New Tires For The Truck, But I Was Afraid Of Spinning Out On Corners. In Dallas/ft. Worth When It Rains The First Few Hours The Roads Are Like Ice, Not Just Slick But Litterly Like Ice. I Use To Live In Nebraska So I Know What Driving On Ice Is Like And It Sucks.

Dido on the Michelins, I had a set on my 2001 1500 4x4 and loved them. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Just my 2 cents.

Just bought the new Dunlop Radial Rover RV XT for my 2500.
So far I,ve experienced rain, a little snow, ice and wet leaves. I've been quite impressed so far. They're quiet and they seem to corner well too. I haven't tried them off road but they're supposed to be made for it.

I bought a set of Bridgestone Dueler A/t Revos and they are amazing. There is an amazing amount of grip when its dry takes quite a bit to break them lose and in the rain. Love them in the snow and the occasional little bit of mud. They are also real quiet on the highway at the higher speeds.
