I have a 97 Subaru Outback and live in Colorado. I do a lot of driving up long annoying dirt/rocky roads and am looking for new tires. Previously I had the BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A and they look pretty worn. Also the side walls have many scrapes from big rocks and some have slow air leaks. Needless to say the car vibrates pretty hard at 70 mph.

 

I am looking for opinions on new tires that would perform well for these situations. Good fuel efficiency is nice and snow traction is nice too.

 

Discount Tire told me the best tire to put on my car is the Goodyear Assurance TripleTred for $453 with a $50 gas card. They also beat anyone else's price. He recommended not putting the BF Long Trails back on.

 

Any suggestions.

Thanks much

Joey

I've heard a lot of good things about the Triple Tread and it sounds like a decent deal.

 

Might try a LT205/75R15 for a little tougher tire.

Best tire for off road abuse would be a bias tire, but i doubt you want to go there.

dirt/rocky roads annoying? Nahh.. those are the best kind.
