I'm going to need to replace the tires on the Wife's 2004 Toyota Highlander (P225/70 R16) before winter. Last set I bought was Michelins All Terrain or Cross Terrain (can't remember) but they were the top of the line from Michelin.
So now I need to hear from you guys whether I should get the same tire or is there anything else you guys can recommend??

As a direct comparison, the Goodyear Fortera TripleTred gets better reviews. However, they may be somewhat noisier, but the wet performance is worth it.

You did mention your wife, but I wouldn't even put all-season tires on my mother-in-laws car for winter driving.;)

I took a bunch of friends down with their SUV's and my parents to Buffalo to get some of the Kumho Solus KR21's installed through Tire RAck..... so far everyone has had no problems at all with these tires... my parents even went to Florida on a road trip about 2 weeks after getting them put on and they were great. Previous tires were a set of Yoko's and these seem to perform much better... read the reviews here:

They were installed on a Nissan Murano, Acura MDX, and Jeep Cherokee!
