I am now considering buying the GENERAL TIRE (owned by German tire mfg CONTINENTAL) GRABBER HTS Load Range E 265x70x17.
This HIGHWAY tire with some All-Terain attributes, bested all the other brands last year with Consumer Reports. It also ranks # 1 at Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels
There have been some very complimentary comments written on the Grabber HTS

Even though my Michelin A/S's have 8/32 thread left, I'd rather sell them as they are, mounted on the chrome clad steel OEM wheels. I have them on Seattle CRAIG's list now.
