My Jeep Patriot tire size (205/70R16) has less than 6 feasible options available (no Michelin this size). My current General Altimax RT43's meet ALL of my requirements, but they did get noisy over the past 10,000 miles (at about 55k+ now).
I'm looking at other similar tires that I should consider. Others in this size include Cooper Discoverer Enduromax, Firestones Destination LE3, and Cooper CS5 Grand Touring. The RT 43 interweb info seems to favor them a tiny amount better regarding winter snow performance. I wish to not go with a tire that might be more noisy that the RT43's or ride more harsh for this cheap vehicle.
Any opinions?? Thank you.
