If you want TRUE street tires, if it is still made, the XPS Rib my Michelin......Boy, I did not type michiblow! hmmmmm getting old I guess.....
I have only had luck with one michilen tire, that is the XDE M+S on my MDT. Since redesigned and name changed.
With this in mind, Cooper and Toyo make great street/Highway tires all labeled with an HT after name. I have a set on my truck now, made for Discount tire. Looks like some of the performance tires one sees on SUV's. Overall, good tire in rain, ok in slushy snow, nothing to wright home about.....throw some chains on, you go forward. No road noise to my slightly deaf ears. Cost was cheap compared to others, with a 60K warranty.
I also got 70+K miles out of some Firestone HT's on a work van. It could be that the OEM tires vs OE Firestone have a different rubber, depth etc so they do not last as long. Worked very well in rain and dry pavement. Slushy snow was not worth talking about, but I survived!
