Tires?

Bought a 2006 E-350 over a year ago, and i need new tires; does anyone have any suggestions on what brand of all season tires are best for the car? The car currently has Toyo tires, should i stick with it or go to some other brand?

I have the Conti ContiTouring Contact all season, original tires. They're good tires -- quiet, good handling in dry and wet. They generally last ~15k-25k mi, depending on your driving style. Tirerack sells them for $172 ea. I also need new tires for my car. I'm thinking of trying out the Conti ExtrmeContact DW, $125 (245/45R17) from Tirerack. Since it does not snow in my area, high performance summer tires are what I need. The DWS model is the all season. I've also run Kumho (both all season & summmer) and Michelin Primacy and Sport. Both Michelin Primacy and Sport are better tires, in terms of traction in dry & wet and handling around corners -- very sticky tires, than the other tires I've mentioned above. If you don't mind spending more money, Michelin is the way to go. I haven't tried out the Toyos before, so can't comment on the difference.

I have had extremely good luck and wear from TOYO tires (H) rated. You can use either (V) or (H) rated tires but since the V rated tire has a much softer tire compound, you can expect them not to wear as well as the harder compound H rated. Naturally, unless you drive in excess of 100 mph, then you should get the V rated for the higher speed.
Good Luck
