How do you all choose? Safety, comfort and mpg are my priorities, in that order. I don't mind paying for the Michelin Defender 2 but is that overkill when the van mostly sits in the driveway with 3 months of 100+ degree heat?
OTOH, I may have to take a cross-country trip in the next year. The van has a wheelchair lift and power chair that together weigh 350 lbs. Currently have Goodyear LS2s that came on the van. Tread is good but they're old and starting to crack.
Other options in size 225 65R 16 in descending price order are Bridgestone Weatherpeak, Firestone Weathergrip, Continental True Contact Tour, General Altimax 365 AW, Vredestein HiTrac All Season, BF Goodrich Advantage Control.
Thanks for your input!
