Default Help me make my tire decision!

I have 22" wheels on our GX and need to purchase new tires. I ride on a 305/40 size tire. I am convinced that I want to go with the Yokohama Paradas, but what does everyone think? Where do you guys purchase your tires?

discount tire
I had falkens (came with it) on mine and they separated in the heat.
Now running yokos- huge ride improvement.

tirerack.com

Bought 2 sets from them in the past - excellent service with fast delivery.

When the Dunflops need replacing (probably before next winter) will buy from tirerack.com again. Most likely Michelin Cross-Terrains or Yokos.

Good luck.

do you want a street tire or an AT?

cooper makes a LTZ AT that looks cool and goes down to that size. I was going to buy them but the 22s i had where chevy and the hub was way too small.

Thanks for the input guys...I don't really need an all-terrain...but so far the best place I have found is discount tire direct and probably going to go with the Paradas...

Any other suggestions for replacement tires for a 2004 GX470?

I have 20" wheels. (285-50)

I drive almost all "city miles" in Dallas,
some highway miles and of course snow is not an issue.

What is the very best over-all tire available for the GX470?

I read some reviews of the Yokohama Parada and they
were generally good reviews but several said they have
a shorter lifespan and tend to get loud around 10K miles?

Are there other options to consider? Michelin? other Yokohamas?

What is the absolute best if price is not an issue?

Here is some interesting data comparing some GX tires:

The Michelin "Latitude" seems to get the best rating.
