What's a good tire brand to invest in? I need to get 4 new tires, my spare is still in really good shape. I would really love to hear your feed back on this.

What are you using the tire for? Highway, weekend warrior, strict trail rig? That makes a huge difference.

^This........
Mine came with a brand new set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac's when I bought it. If not for that, I probably would have gotten some cheaper tires just to run on until I finish all the other work that needs to be done.
They do sing a little but so far, they've proven to get equally good traction on wet or dry pavement and handled well for the little bit of off roading I've done so far.

Go with an all terrain...maybe even a highway tread if you don't off road.
