If so, you might want to consider those. Some members have reported that they last over 80,000 miles. They seem like great tires, and I would probably get them again when it's time to replace them. Check out this link for more information on them. BF Goodrich Radial Long Trail T/A

Sorry to say this...but as a parts manager, I naturally like to sell parts and I can't beleive how these tires look at 50-75,000 miles. The only replacements we've sold for the Sante Fe since our dealership opened 10 months ago were for sidewall punctures. These tires last and last. Happy Motoring! partguy

I recently read an article on the Pirelli Scoprion All Terrain and it scored very well against all the other big brands. I have previously used the Yokohama All Terrains on a Suzuki Vitara and found them to be slightly better on road for grib and feel that the HT tyres the car came with and far superior on gravel. I cannot reiterate how much better AT tyres are on gravel the car went from being scary to drive to making me feel like a WRC competitor.
