All the top tier and most of the mid tier brands are good. My theory is go with whatever you get the biggest discount on thru whichever discount program you're buying thru or whatever. Also rolling resistance can help sway a decision. Michelin has the best rolling resistance comparison.

I see a lot of people saying that firestone is just an older Bridgestone. I have no idea if that’s true or not but from my experience I just don’t get near the wear or quality from a FS as I do a BS. In fact they are only a step up from Goodyear’s which I never had any long term luck with.

Bridgestones for the win.

So calling around, running into another problem. 11r24.5 seems to be a dying tire size. So might have to change rims and everything. That's gonna be expensive.
