I live in New England. Just wondering what the best all season 20" tires would be when it's time to make the switch. Don't care too much about expense. I'm always on the road, and don't tow.

Thanks

Not sure what size and if you want a performance-oriented tire, but the best all-around all season truck/suv tire currently out is the Michelin LTX M/S2

If you need a bit more aggressive all-terrain type tire that is still fairly comfortable, then the Michelin LTX AT2.

With either, make sure you get a standard load tire and not an LR-D or LR-E or your ride & fuel economy will suffer due to increased unsprung weight & stiffer sidewalls.

There are better values out there and more aggressive tires, but these are the best street friendly & snow capable tires available IMO

Other honorable mentions I would recommend are include:
Bridgestone Dueler Alenza
Yokohama YK-something (I forget the number)
Michelin Latitude Tour HP
Hankook Dynapro ATM (my favorite all terrain - aggressive tread with softer sidewalls)
Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor (all terrain with okay ride & excellent snow traction)
Cooper Zeon LTZ (fantastic all terrain, but rides pretty rough)

Thanks stickygreen, at least now I'll be prepared when the tread runs low.

The LTX M/S2 is not available in the 275-50-R20 however. I am assuming you went with plus sizing?

I just install Yokohama Parada 285/50/20 to replace OEM run flat and noticed the improved ride right away. Tirerack.com has high review mark for this tire
