As the topic/description says, I'm getting ready to put new tires on my 1998 Dakota Sport (2wd). The truck sees significant use 12 months a year (it has 206k on it so far), so I want something that will last, give a reasonable ride, and not cost more than the truck's current market value. Have tried Yoko Avids, Kumho equivalent (can't recall model), and the pathetic factory rubber. Anyone know of a durable alternative to those listed?

Thanks for all of your replies. I went to Tirerack and spec'd out the Michelin LTX M/S. Seems like a good tire. Was surprised to see it rated 8th in its category. Most reviews were very favorable. The Bridgestone Deuler H/L Alenza was rated second in the category and is considerably less costly. Anyone here have any experience with these tires? They also have a $75 rebate on a set of four for the next few weeks, so I'm tempted to try them for the $167 savings on a set of four. The B'stone RE 750's on my Z-28 have been great- even saw some track service (3 sessions of HPDE last event). I'm really torn between the Michelins (based on your rave reviews) and the Bridgestones. Thanks again for your comments. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
