I drive a truck so I don't know if they're appropriate for a vehicle
like yours. But for years I've bought Cooper Tires. I rotate them
every other oil change and get 50K plus. I had them on the pigovan and
two trucks since. They make a pretty wide range from 4 season to HD
mud and snow.

Brain Fried Bob Thompson endorses Cooper Tires and recommends them to
Dick Gozinya on a public forum.
If I worked for Cooper, I'd be seriously embarassed.

You don't have a job, dumbass. If you worked for anybody, THEY would
be seriously embarrassed.

Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012 dumbass. Repeal the nightmares.

Bob, which Coopers, or are your recommending any tire within the
brand? For years I was a bit of a tire snob, sticking mainly with
Michelins. The last set I had on my TL wore out prematurely, thus I
switched over Bridgestone, which have performed well. I spent
August/September shopping for a new ski-mobile and settled on the MDX.
It came with decent all seasons, thus the search now for snows

I usually go for the most aggressive tread I can get that won't sing
on the highway for my truck. I have a Saturn Outlook too. Similar to
your MDX, maybe a little bigger? The factory Goodyears are holding out
but I was looking at some Coopers last time I got a flat repair. A
little less aggressive tread than I get for my truck but much more
than a 4 season. I've got 19" rims on the Outlook and it's the only
tire they had for it. I forget the name. Just go in and take a look at
what they have and the price.

I bought Coopers for the life of my Jeep after the original Goodyears
wore out.

When my tires wear out I just buy a new van. A van is the only
vehicle a skier should consider because you can keep your skis inside,
clean and dry while driving to the ski resort.
