  1. ask your tire professional about recommended load ratings, how much equipment or load do you plan to haul daily. The "harder" the tire compound, the longer it lasts, but with less grip. - The "softer" the compound, the better grip & ride, but less longevity. For my purposes, a 40,000 mile tire is about right. Too hard & the wet weather traction disappears, which is not fun in a truck full of tools.
  2. Never said, "All Seasons." :nonono: Only one (1) recommendation per tirerack.com 2010 Ford Transit Connect Van - 205/65R15 Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice+ Studless Ice & Snow The Ultra Grip Ice+ is Goodyear’s Studless Ice & Snow tire originally developed for driving on Northern Europe’s toughest cold-weather roads.
  3. Why do you think my post said "Tire Suggestions?" A dissertation on winter driving in the snow belt of northeast USA, is like telling an eskimo not to eat yellow snow. :backtotopic: http://www.tirerack.com/index.jsp (No Nokiana's available) Avon (0)Hankook (0)BFGoodrich (0)Hoosier (0)Bridgestone (0)Kumho (0)Continental (0)Michelin (0)Dick Cepek (0)Pirelli (0)Dunlop (0)Power King (0)Firestone (0)Sumitomo (0)Fuzion (0)Toyo (0)General (0)Uniroyal (0)Goodyear (1)Yokohama (0)
  4. reviews ( taken with a grain of salt) don't seem great. I have to do something, because my Transit was awful in the first snowfall.
  5. Many stores will price match, ie: Firestone is listed as a preferred installer, yet you buy Firestone tires from Tirerack, & they are shipped to Firestone dealer for installation. I used Costco. The selection is less, but quality tires none the less. The warranty, installation, rotation, etc. etc. is all included. Math wise it works out a little better.
