I looked around in this forum regarding what kind of tires people recommend and what people have on their own trucks.  I have a 2wd extended cab with 205/70/15 uniroyal tires, but looking to purchase new tires at 205/75/15.  Any ideas what to purchase. 

Not looking to spend too much maybe some where around $80-$90, at the most, per tire.

On my blazer I'm currently running BFG Long trail radials P235/75R15, which costed 400 for the set. You could just go with the standard BFG radial, Michelin X Radial (I recommend), Goodyear Wrangler RT, or Uniroyal tiger paw.

The type of tire will not make much of a difference to you unless you like the ride quality. Michelins ride the best out of the ones I listed above.

I am running a set of Dean Trailcat radials, and they have been treating me verry well, epecially considering it was only 35o for all 4. They are slightly more aggressive than stock, but they drive well in all of the conditions I have tried them in including mud and snow, as long as there isn't too much of either.

Never even heard of them.... hmmm.

Whatever you buy, make sure you don't buy Country Squire, Wild Country, Jetzen, or Kelly. They are all sub-par for the price.

they were made by cooper, but it is a smaller company by my understanding. I bought them at dunn tire. They have been abused pretty bad, and are holding up great. I am not by any means easy on my tires, and i have run over some glass and nails and not gotten any leaks at all. The traction off road is amazing for such a small tire. The only regret i have, which is quite minute is the looks. They are not aggressive looking enough for me, but that should not be a factor when you are buying tires.

Cooper isn't bad. They were a division of Hoosier back in the day.

Thanks for all your info.  Made up my mind on buying some Firestone Destination LE's.  After looking around found that they are a good buy.
