DD tire advice

Bear Chow · 12-10-2008, 12:14 PM

Wanting recommedations for new shoes for wife's Acura MDX in a 235/65-17 size. I really think a set of SX's would look hot on that vehicle. But the wife said it's not going offroad except down the driveway.

I like the looks and aggresiveness of the Toyo Open Country A/T but am worried about noise.

It currently has Michelin Cross Terrain SUV and they look ok, I guess (sarcasm).

It really wouldn't matter what the vehicle is,
hmm F250, I'm thinking Iroks
Jeep, maybe boggers are the way to go
VW rabbit, TLB's sure would look good
Gandpa's Ford LTD what ag tires meet DOT standards.

OK the question is:
What tires do you like for a daily driver that makes you feel safe sending your wife and kids out on the road whether it's snowing, raining of a crisp summer day?

having worked on acuras for only 18 years i seen the begining of the mdx and the two available tires from the factory. goodyear integrity(awfull and ugly)and the michelin which looks good and lasts good but is pricey. alot of people went to the yokohama geolander due to price and its not bad wear just a little noisey so thats what i seen unless you want to go to some nice chrome 24s then thats a hole diff storey

I have had the open country on a couple different vehicles and was very satisfied. I didn't notice any more noise than one would expect from an AT.

I have the Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo on my truck now and love them. A little pricier, but great looking, a little more expensive, but worth it in my opinion. Treadwear has been great so far, and noise is minimal.

Best tire I have ever used for all terrain conditions with little noise and great wear and abused with no problems have to be the BFG all terrains! Nitto terra grapplers are a good choice also but they do not like sharp metal culvert pipes! :o

you could go for the Yokohama Avid H4S

I'm thinking about that for the wife's Pilot

I had a set of Geolandar HT's on the wife's AWD Rav-4, and they were decently priced, and handled well in the snow, rain, and pavement. I would reccomend them.

you really can't go wrong with any tire that has the word bf goodrich on it. that's pretty much all i've ever put on a street vehicle when buying new tires. the long trails are a great riding and driving tire that last FOREVER. had over 80,000 miles on the last set we put on the cherokee.
