Which model do you have? Do a search on here. I'm pretty sure the General Altimax is available for either size tire. I recently put those on our Ford and am pleased with them, especially for the price. Where in IL do you live?

It depends on what your looking for in a tire....

General useage (all weather)
High performance
Long life (high milage)
Best price


Give us a little more on what you are looking for and you might get better answers.

I went with Goodyear TripleTreads for my 07. Wet weather handling is excellent. Handling improved greatly. They do extremely well in the winter on light/deep snow and improved traction on ice. They do have a stiffer sidewall, so a slight ride sacrifice was made. Overall, it a great tire if you are willing to spend the money.

Hankook if you are looking for the cheapest performance tire. Car and driver did a heads up test, Hankook won in all areas but they are the price of entry level tires.

Falken ZE329 from Big O. I've read that they're a bit soft, So I'm going to be a little more vigilante on the air pressure and rotation than I was with the Firestones. But I like the cost, ride and little tread noise.

For warm weather driving I am running Nexen 3000's. God handling and braking both wet and dry and the price was right.

Cold weather driving that one I have yet to figure out.......
