What are the cheapest best quality all terrain tires for a 2003 Ford Explorer? size p235/70r16?

I used to sell tires, probably a Firestone Destination LE. Good all around tire without the huge price of a semi-off road tire.

Do (yes, DO) get your alignment check when you get tires, it will save you a bundle in the long run. Also have the ball joints checked (not just looked at) on your vehicle, (especially yours!)

The ford SUV's Explorers, Escapes, Expeditions and such seem to demolish ball joints. It could possibly be why you are looking for a set of new tires right now!

Don't forget to rotate them every 6K miles either!

If your vehicle has been lifted, adjustable camber shims MUST be installed. If the car has been in an accident your frame could be out of alignment--so no matter how well aligned the front end is the vehicle will NOT track straight. Sometimes a misalignment caused by damage to the mounting components for the rear axle will cause the car to mistrack. I would check the shocks next, if they haven't been replaced yet, they are due. Oftentimes a worn, bent or broken shock will cause this problem even though the alignment appears correct. If all else fails, YOUR CAR IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT!! Take it to a shop specializing in computer aided frame and wheel alignment and tell them about your concerns. If you bought the car used, I would suspect frame misalignment as this is common among some shady used car dealers and bodyshops. To see if there is a record of damage to the car, check at Carfax--on the web for a printout of your vehicles history. ( There is a small charge )--Hope this helps!

BF Goodrich All terrain T/A. Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo. Michelin LTX. Goodyear Wrangler.

I have had good luck with a tire called a Republic . It's made as a value line for Goodyear dealers.. another is the Dunlop line at goodyear dealers.. Got some friends who love their Dunlops for occasional running thru the mud

buy some firestones all terrain.
