New tires, what do you think?

These are the new tires I am getting:Delta Sierradial A/T.
I am getting them for a good price (PM me if you want to know), and they are made by Cooper.
Let me know what you think.
I was also looking at the Kumho 41's. The Kumho's are a little more, but we have them on a truck at work, and I don't really like their performance or wear.

Look good for an AT. How is the wear for them?

The dealer says about 40,000 miles. I think it will be a little longer.

Rotation is the key to long tire life. You can get 70,000 out of them with highway use if you rotate every other oil change or so...

I had the chapparral a/p's for a while in the 305's That was a really nice tire, rode well, good wear with proper rotation, and good offroad ability. 305's were just to small though.

I looked at the Chapparals as well. Too aggressive for what I want. I hope the Sierradials suit me fine.

i was actually going to order a Kumho AT KL-41 to check it out and see what it's like. For $86 a tire, i dont think it gets much cheaper. You say you don't like how they are wearing at work???

86.00? Where is that price from? I could find the Kumho's for no lower than 140.00.
I'll buy them for 86.00!
The wear is almost like the edges are wearing off and getting rounded (of the tread itself).
