Comments please from anyone using P215s or 225s.

Bridgestone Dueler ATs seem to be a popular favorite. Anyone
using something different/better?

Thanks.

I have used a couple of different tire brands since buying my 97 sportage new and I have to say the best ones were the Michelins that came on it new

I have Coopers on my 98 Sportage and they give a really nice ride and they seem to be wearing very well.

If you want to stick to stock height, get 225-70-15's. Air them down to 28 psi. That's what your door panel reads anyway. The 225's give you a wider tread and is MUCH more comfortable. I personally loved my cooper discoverer AT's they lasted a LOOONG time and were a great ride. I've since then gone to my 31" Mastercraft MT tire though lol.
