I inherited a 1992 Toyota pickup, 2WD, 2.4L 22RE engine a few years back. It had Guardsman by Radar tires from Sears on it which have now got considerable dry rot on them and need to be replaced. It is driven very little, but is handy to have around.
It seems there are fewer options available in this size these days.
Tirerack.com has:
(1) Hankook KInergy ST
(2) Kumho Solus Ta51A
(3) Toyo Extensa A/S II
Discounttire has:
(1) Hankook Kinergy ST H735
(2) Uniroyal Tiger Paw AWP II
(3) General Altimax RT45
(4) GT Radial Touring VP plus
(5) Westlake RP18
To me the downside on the Hankook Kinergy is that initial tread depth is only 8.8/32s. I have read somewhere that Kumhos have a reputation for performing poorly in rain which we have a lot of around here, so that seems a negative towards them. I have never heard of GT Radial or Westlake and am somewhat leery of those.
I have tended to go with Michelins or BF Goodrich tires in the past on my passenger cars & have always had good luck with both, but those do not appear to be options in this size.
Have any of you had experience with any of the above tires? Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
