Tire recommendations

[Carl]

I need new tires for a Ford Windstar. I have Goodyear Assurance comfortred right now. They are rated for 80K miles and I only got 51K out of them. The van is is a '99, but I want to get 2 -5 more years out of it. Figure about 12K a year on average we put on the van.

I was happy with the ride and handling of GY's, but part of the reason I had bought them in the first place was the milage rating.

To complicate mattters, the shop I bought them from is now out of business.

What do you recommend? best $ for the quality, wear rating etc.

Driving habits are typical for a minivan. - Mom does most of the around town driving, I do most of the highway - long trip driving. We do make a 2-3 hour trip to see family, grandparents etc about once a month so comfortable highway driving / touring is necessary.


Thanks

Carl
