i use Firestone Indy 500 235/75R15 on my truck, and love them! great wet
traction, no noise, and they look sweet too!

i picked them up at the local firestone for $65/each installed. i also went
with the lifetime alignment.

Hi Dave,

I'd recommend against the Goodyears simply because of price (and I don't
like them). It's pretty phenominal that you managed to eek 70k miles
out of them though, IIRC my first set (235/75-15) lasted me about 30k
miles and the last 10k were almost on cords. I've been running Yokohama
Avid S/T tires on my lowered truck in 245/70-15 and after two sets I'm
nothing short of pleased with them. I get them from the Tire Rack and
they're about $60 each.
