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.

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

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!michelin are the best.

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.

:yeah: 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.

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.

I'd suggest Michelin if you want a quiet long lasting tire...
My dad was one of the founders of TireRamma and he runs Michelins almost exclusively, has all my life.

Tires are mighty expensive these days.

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.That is kinda standard for the industry btw.

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.
