I recently decided to start putting some money into the Taurus since we have now had it for nearly a year and we plan on owning it for a few years more. It does have it's fair share of problems, but it gets us from A to B without too much fuss.
The tires that were on it at the time of purchase were mismatched and the fronts were in need of replacement. Traction was also poor. I called around to get some price quote and went with Discount Tire. They were about $30 more than some local places but the tires they quoted are made by Cooper, which is a brand I'd trust over some Chinese knock off.
They put on 4 new Arizonian Silver Edition all seasons with a 60K tread wear warranty. They were finished with the job in around an hour but had a center cap crack due to "dry rot" which honestly I believe. They are ordering a new one for me.
I'll update when I pick up the car in an hour or so to comment on how they ride. On the old tires the car had a nasty vibration above 60 MPH. I HOPE that is gone.
