FWIW, if you want a good budget-minded tire, the DTC branded Dominators have been great tires for me. They're actually a rebadged Cooper according to the salesman who sold them to me. They were only about $70 a piece and have seen duty on logging roads, in snow, and around town and have performed with aplomb.

'98 Rodeo, Ranchos, OME 912s, General Grabber AT2 265/70/16s on steelies, Superwinch hubs, G80 code, Pioneer HU... two car seats and cracker crumbs.
