you have 18's on a KR?
I thought the KR came with 20's only
anyhoo, IMO you can do alot better than a LTX A/S...Nothing wrong with it, but there are better out there.
Back in February I bought the Goodyear Silent Armor for my old SUV. great great tire. Nice road manners, has excellent traction, and the offroad traction was superb. It has a fairly aggressive tread pattern, and the sidewall looks pretty nice as well IMO

255/70/18 Goodyear Silent Armor 32" tall - $193/tire
275/65/18 Goodyear Silent Armor 32" tall - $183/tire
Highly suggest you get the 275 width. It is the OEM size for the F-150's and will fit your Expy with ZERO PROBLEMS.
These tires are rated #2 on All Terrain Tirerack.com Tire Ratings...vs the LTX A/S which is rated #3 and has the same price tag

255/70 is way too skinny of a tire for these big trucks... get a 275/65 or 285/60 and you will see a big improvement in handling.
I run 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers on my expedition and they are great. They handle good on dry and wet, no noise, and minor offroad capablities...
