*Note Admins please don't transfer this to meats and donuts etc.. Thank you I have BFG AT's right now, and they have been great tires, 55K and you still can't see lincoln's head, but i want a tire that will "increase" my gas mileage. Ya I know gas ain't that big of a deal, but I am going to be starting my career (realator for the state of Oklahoma!) here in about a year and don't want to buy some tires that are too noisy/have bad gas mileage! So any input is welcome! |

if you just want a cheap,good all season radial I would look at the Kumho Solus KR21. I had a set on my KJ when I bought and they were great, especially on wet roads! I replaced then eventually with a set of Fuzion XTi's so I could have a more AT type tire and these are great for the money also.

For better mileage - you're probably looking for as close to stock as possible - i.e. light weight - road tire and I saw one report on rolling resistance - thats a couple of years old - they mentioned BF Goodrich Long Trails as good. but it's not a measurement that's regularly reported. |

My previous tires were Yokohama Geolander HTS G051 and they were very nice. Since I switched to the BFG AT KO I have noticed a 2mpg drop but the verdict is still out. It might have been do to the lift too. Those tires were very good though. Solid traction in rain and dry. Only thing I noticed is they cracked a little in the extreme heat here in Las Vegas. Oh and they are not happy off road. I would leave small chunks on the trail, lol. Hope the R.E. Works for you. I did it for a few years here in Vegas, had a blast. One thing I would like to tell you is to make sure you get a good broker. Long story but definitely find out all you can about the one you go with.

I really like my Dueler AT-REVOs. They're very quiet on-road and still are pretty respectable as an AT tire. The Firestone Destination AT falls into that category as well. Lots of folks very happy with them for a daily driver with some decent weekend offroad ability. |

well... i am taking my Real Estate Liscence Test tomorrow, but i had to have 90 clock hours of class (which means 2 3 hours college classes) and fill out some paper work and then i can take the test. when i do get my liscence, i then have to have 2 more 3 hour classes within the first year of practice in order to keep my liscence, which i will be completing this Fall Semester. I really want to work for a local company here in Edmond, OK, where I go to school, b/c I love the city, and I know just about all the streets! But companies in mind are Keller Williams, ReMax, and Rea1ty (aka Realty One) b/c my teacher owns Rea1ty. |

I liked the Firestones but like my cheap Kumhos as well or better, more open tread better in mud, Would take them over most anything else mentioned above  I have over 20,000 on them and wearing great, expect to get 50,000 if I don't go bigger first!
