No problem, glad I could help. If you didn't come across as an uninformed dick, I wouldn't have said anything.

Yes it is his driving. I've been driving a 08' Expedition Extra Long around for the last couple weeks and I'm averaging around 17mpg, in a much bigger and heavier vehicle. I had an Aspen for a rental before and average the same with that, even better on the highway so his driving is definitely has something to do with it, that or he bought a lemon.

You posted a link for Toyota and Nissan, grats. I'm suprised you didn't include Hyundia or Saturn. I priced out the Ex. I have now at almost $50k, if you look at Toyota's Sequoia and Land Cruiser, they'd be priced around that too. A nicely load 4Runner is getting close to $40k nowadays. Why don't you price out Nissan's Armada with some options and see how much it costs. I could go on and on, but there's no point.

The only SUV's getting better gas mileage are tiny ones that have no purpose, might as well get a car or station wagon in that case.

Hey assfuck, you don't know shit about how I drive. I get 12mpg because I never drive it on the interstate. I drive it 3.5 miles to get to work and back. And I drive it slow as a bitch. It took over 9 months before we even hit 5,000 miles on it. Sorry to bitch about your post, but this is why I stopped coming to this site years ago. People talk shit about other people because they can sit around alone on their computer and not talk to people face to face.
On the other hand, you are right, $40k is not bad considering the size and quality of the aspen. There are a lot of more expensive SUVs out there; navigators, land rovers, and such. And if you have the money its OK. And if you drive it as little as I do, gas isn't a big deal. BTW it has got a 27gal tank, but the low fuel light comes on way too early, like around 22 gallons. I got the 5.7L Hemi. Its supposed to have that MDS BS but since I rarely drive it on the interstate it probably never is used.

And Chad, I meant no offense at all, thats great if you want an Aspen, I was just giving you a heads up.
Here is a price comparison of "large" suvs. Its really not that bad at all: http://autos.msn.com/research/catego...egory=largesuv

Either you got gas for $3.55...or "filling it up" really isn't filling it up. And 12mpg is WAY lower than what you should be getting it if you are driving it "slow" and pussy-footing it around town.

On that list posted, I don't see 1 SUV that's near $10k cheaper.

Jesus Christ, guys. Way to turn a TIRE THREAD into a pissing match, just like what inevitably happens to half the threads on this whole message board.

People around here need to calm down. Take a Valium or something.

If I were you I'd probably just get some Futuras like MAD_DOHC mentioned, since you're trading the car in. I've had bad experiences with Pep Boys' tire-mounting, though (had to go back 3 times because of slow leaks).

Here is what you are looking for I suppose\/\/. I would not buy nexen tires because you can spend just a little bit more and have a piece of mind with kumhos or falkens. good luck.
