Okay, well thanks for the suggestions and replies...

If this was turning into a trail rig, the REVOs would be my first choice for occasional trail use duties, however the price was out of reach right now.

I ended up going to Discount, and have always had good luck with their service, etc.
If you need tires and are local, go see this man... Discount Tires Iliff & Buckley. Talk to Steve aka Rico (CO4x4.org).

So, we went with the Dominator Sport C/T. Basically a rebadged house branded, Cooper Discoverer H/T, Mastercraft HTR. This also has the same basic tread pattern as the Michelin Cross Terrain at a fraction of the price. Out the door @ >$450. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
The Toyo was my first choice but the Dominator was a good choice at this time. I have 30 day trial period, and I can always trade up to the Toyos within that timeframe if we decide to go that route.

I am like the looks of the increased aspect ratio from the 70 to 75 series. Kept the width the same @ 245. It actually normalized my speedo, which was ~3-5% off.

With the snow, I will tell you this. The Sorento (with the TOD system) is by far the BEST snow vehicle I have ever owned. It handled the blizzard of 03 without an issue and was all good up to ~ 18-20", then I decided to ground it and let the Amigo take over extraction duties...

No trouble with tire wear per se. The Cross Terrains wore evenly, just prematurely IMHO @ 33500. I would have expected a 520AB UTQG rated tire to hit it's 65k mile warranty rating, essentially 50% of their rated tread life.
I have had no issues with the Sorento thus far, it has been a good vehicle with a couple minor warranty repairs.
