Tires Needed

So it not a diesel but i have to put tires on my wife's 2002 Chevy Trailblazer (245/75r16). Anyone have a trailblazer and or have a tire that they like on an SUV. I put the discount tire brand (pathfinders) but they have not lasted the like they said they would. They ride nice but didn't last. i think they were 60,000 miles tires and lasted maybe half of that.

thanks

Michelins are great but are pricey though i would look into a Cooper CTS for that suv or if wanted to pay for the Michelin get the Michelin Latitude

Mastercraft builds a great tire for SUV's along with Cooper,Bridgestone and Michelin..

i would switch back to the OEM size,245-70R16 for better stability.

That Cooper CTS is a dang good tire for the money. So are you wanting an A/T or just a Highway tread?
