Message:
I've hit 85000 km and it's about time for me to buy a new set of tires again. Right now I'm running the Pirelli Scorpion Zero's and I've been semi-satisfied with them, they do look great, but I live in Vancouver where we get a lot of rain and I'm really starting to get scared going around corners in the wet.

I think I'd like to go with something different this time.

I've got a 99 5.2L V8 with the 15x8 rims on it. Currently I run 255/65/15 but would like to move up to 275/60/15 mainly because there seems to be more choices at this size. I already have fender flares so the extra width isn't going to look stupid.

I'm expecting my first child in September so traction in the wet is definately higher up on my priorities than it was a few years ago.

I've tried searching the forum but am unable to sort the results by date so everything I've read is a few years old.

Anyone have any info for me on the new 275/60/15's??

Thanks a lot!!

I run General Ameritrac 255/70/16s (replacement for the Good-for-a-Year Eagle LS 255/65/16s) on my Durango and Dakota. They give me a smooth and quiet ride. I am happy with them. You should be able to find them in your wheel size in the $105-$125 price range.
