Default Looking for tires

I'm looking for tires for moms Aviator. Right now she has old michelins on it 265/70/17. I need a 17" tire to fit her rims, let me know what you guys got. I'm in South Fla so local would be best. Justin

i don't know if they make them in 17" sizes or not but i have really enjoyed my general uhp grabbers. they look good and do a nice job in the ride department. generals can be had at most tire stores as well.

Tires...hmm, I really miss my Eagle GT II's, but not the price. I did some research and I got Hankook Ventus ST and I believe they're W rated. I was running the Eagle GT II's 275/60/17's, and on the Hankooks I have directionals 255/50/17. Big difference in the grip and the handling. Though when you go with a lower profile there's a little diff in the maneuverability.

There's a site called Tire Rack. They normally have better pricing and 9 times out of 10 NTB or Discount Tire will match if they carry the manufacturer.

I've been reading about tires for a couple months and I came to the conclusion of the general grabber uhp's...traction, looks, & ride comfort, can't be beat for the price.
