All right, back on topic....
I am looking at the Yokohama GEOLANDAR H/T-S for the truck. For the money I can see that the ratings are above average and won't cost me an arm and a leg (compared to a kidney when I gas up.). I am staying with a highway tire and not an all terrain. Figuring that the gas mileage may be better as well as road noise.
The name brand tire company I normally frequent will give me a credit of $120 for the set of four. They quoted me on Coopers but the ratings are not good.
The tires were date coded no more than a year old when I bought them in 2011.
I used to be a Michelin guy, I loved the Pilot Exalto Sports I put on my car but now they have lost me. They usually produce a good quality tire but for the money if I have to replace them this often it is not worth it.
