Tire suggestions have been run into the ground here, but I'm going to dig it up for one more round.
I put Kuhmo Solus KR21 225/60/17 tires on our 08 Toyota van when the van had about 35000 miles. A person I talked to got 80000 miles out of this brand and model of tire on a car so I went by that recommendation.
Maybe I got into a bad batch of tires, but at 5000 miles I replaced one because it was pulling to the side. Had the alignment checked first and it was fine. 2000 miles later another one was pulling and I rotated it to the back. Problem solved. Next rotation that one was back on the front and pulling so I replaced it and all was well. Now, with 80000 miles on the van and estimated 35000 on the two origional tires left, the two origionals are worn to the point where they need to go. The two replacements look like they have 20000 miles left or more. One origional is on the front and one is on the back. We've had a shake in the front at 65 MPH or above since last summer but I'm getting tired of tire swapping so I've just run it.
Soooooo, what would you guys and gals recommend for tires on a Toyota van. It seems to get a lot of highway driving. I don't have a clue as to what to buy anymore. These were high priced tires and 35000 miles is all I got out of them. I'm about to go to (ahem, choke) Wallyworld and tell them to throw something on it. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
