Wifes rig needs tires

[steeleywhopper]

It's time to get some new rubber on the wife's AWD car. Current set of tires are Cooper 40k mile rated, we have 30k on them and they are at 20% tread. I made sure to rotate the tires every 5k as stated for warranty issues and it sounds as if they worked as advertised, no complaints.
 I am wondering if anyone has used any particular brand that has stood out and outlasted the advertised mileage? This car is a AWD GMC Acadia, daily driver around town and highway yet makes the trek to see some snow now and then.
Also looking for good deals or sales in the Snohomish County area if anyone knows of any.

I really like Kumho tires and will be putting them on my wife's Flex next fall.

Always had good luck with Bridgestone/Firestone tires

This is what I just recently put on my wife's Subaru outback. Really like them so far.

My wife's last two cars, Volvo S60R and Lincoln MkZ, have been AWD and they both seemed to wear the inside edges out faster than I thought they should, especially her S60R.  I've always run Blizzaks on her cars in the winter and about 18 months ago I put a set of all seasons on her car that had a 60 or 70K mile, can't remember which, guarantee.  The rubber must be hard as he11 because they've hardly worn at all in two summers and I can't get them off fast enough once the snow flies but they are very round and roll down the road very smooth.  I'm to lazy to go look right now to see what they are but I do all my business with Discount Tire if that helps.  If you'd like more information about them I can get it for you tomorrow.

That would be cool to get the brand name. All this information will help when it comes time to buy.

My wife's suv has a set of Michelin lattitudes on it. I've been very happy with them so far, though I can't comment on mileage longevity yet. Since its our primary road trip car, road noise was my biggest concern. They've been great so far!
Edit: costco has $70 off a set of 4 Michelin tires at the moment.

[Ghost Hunter]

Had the 90,000 mile Michelins on Subaru Forester.  62,000 they were toast.  Wouldn't stand behind them unless replaced with same.  No more Michelin.

[MADMAX]

I just put 4 Sailun TERRAMAX tires on wifes Denali
450 bucks at Les Schwab
Like them so far

[280ackley]

Not sure what type of AWD car you have but Ive got 50k on my Toyo AT II's and they still look good.

[follow maggie]

I've always used Toyos on my cars and had good luck with them

michelin are the best.

I have had only bad experiences with Yokohama tires (had to replace 3 of four tires with under 20,000 miles driven. I rotated and aligned as  recommended.

I have heard good things about Michellen tires from friends but have never tried them.

The best tires I have ever used have been Toyos. They seem durable and fairly inexpensive if you buy them off a site like tirecrawler.com. Problem with buying them online is that you still have to put them on the rims and mount them.

   My wife put the same tires on her Grand Cherokee and it quieted it down A LOT.  Great tires.

I used Cooper Discoverer AST (a fleet tire) that was the same as another consumer branded Cooper six-ply (Load Range C) rated M+S for decades.  In the winters I used a  stud-able, slightly more aggressive Cooper Discoverer.  I did not have to pay for them because my dad was tire distributor, actually I could have put any tire I wanted on my pickups but always had great luck with Cooper Tires. 

Lately I have been putting  Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor ten-plies (Load Range  E) on though, they are quieter on the highway, but still provide good M+S traction.

I'd suggest Michelin if you want a quiet long lasting tire...

[RadSav]

I do not have much experience with AWD cars.  I've always been a light truck and Explorer guy.  Ran Coopers for about 20 years.  Never hated them, but I did get more flats in the hills than I thought I should and I never cared for them in snow and ice unless they were studded.  After deciding to dump Cooper I tried about a dozen other tires and was not pleased with any of them.  Was about to go back to Cooper when our Snap-On guy talked me into trying Bridgestone.  OMG, I could not be happier!!  I even added the Dueler Revo to my big trucks and have been thrilled with the results!

They ain't cheap tires by any means, but IMO worth every penny!  I won't ever go back to Cooper, Goodyear, Michelin or Toyo.

My dad was one of the founders of TireRamma and he runs Michelins almost exclusively, has all my life.

My be cheaper to get a new wife with good rubber.

Tires are mighty expensive these days.

That is kinda standard for the industry btw.

I would also state that adding the size will yeild more useful help.
Michelin spends 2x as much on r&d as goodyear the next closest. If the numbers are still the same its something like 4.7% of gross revenue verses 2.3%  mich are almost the most expensive brand out there. Depending on driving conditions it pays off. Bfg is owned by Mich.

Love our Michelins!  LTX M+S2 on my wife's Toyota Highlander and LTX AT2 on my Tundra.  The ones on my pickup are 285/65R18 and they're heavy, but so far they're wearing like iron!  They have done great in snow.  Soon we'll know about mud, but the traction control on that truck makes mud not so fun  .  I got stuck in 3 inches of mud on an incline a little over a year ago with the Lester T Schwab specials.  Had to borrow a tractor from the neighbor to pull myself out.     Durn traction control would brake individual wheels when I was trying to spool them up and get some momentum!
