Tires? Cooper Discoverer ST 255/85R16. Rubbers? Wellington high top dairy-tread gum boots matey. Good traction yet sheds cow sh..........
mud very well.

 

Toyo M-55 on my hauler
Toyo HT on my 2500
Both sets have over 75k on them and will easily go over 100k
My last set of M-55 went 123k miles

 

I have run the Wrangler Silent Armour for 25k, do some off road. They have been everything they say, good in all conditions, quit, 50k warranty. they should go that. I have the stock size, 235/85/16E. I got 6 for about $1k, with hazard warranty(some negotiation required). You can get better pricing at a GoodYear factory store.
I have read sevral posts of others with these tires, no complaints

 

I'm running Pro Comp Xtreme AT 315's on mine. I never took notice on mileage like a dummy, but they've lasted me over 2 1/2 years on a daily driver. Starting to get worn out, 4-6 /32's, and rotate every couple months. Very even wear on all 4, and all the way across the tread. They don't do too bad in the snow, but not what I expected. Of course they are 315's so I wasn't expecting a miracle out of em.

 

the tires i will never buy again is pirelli scorpions ..... they wear out fast!!!!!! Michelins are the ones for me

 

I secont the Cooper Discoverer ATR. they have outlasted 2 trucks now, and have great traction yet. I paid $600 for 4, mounted and balanced.

 

Thaks to everyone for the replies. I will mull over the pros and cons and see which ones are available in my area.

 

I will personally never touch bfg a/t ko's again. they dont stay round, and wear out faster than any tires ive ever had.

 

The tires that I would never buy again are Yokohama. They wore out faster than any brand I have ever used and I have used most of the commercial brands over the years.

 

Truck came with Michelins when new,265-75R-16-LR-E best tire I ever had,made 100,000 with them, replaced them with another set of Michelins, not quite the same model, but made 80,000 with them,all above load range E, replaced with Michelin XC4-T/A , excelent wearing tire but at 30,000 the sidewall rubber split diagonaly about 6 inches apart all around the sidewall,did it on all 4 tires, come to find out the tires were C load range, dont remember if I asked for E or not, dont know if tire shops fault,couldnt find the reciept,C should have never been put on truck, son had a set of BFG Rough Country,I think,could be wrong on the Rough Country,-265-75R-17-LR E on rims,90% left, (he took thm off to put BIG tires on)put them on, first 200 mile drove like a charm,quiet and smooth, then started to notice bit of shimmy,after 1000 miles got the death wobble, never ever had it before, got it again a couple of times so put all new ball joints in, still got the death wobble, so took them tires off, bought 4 Moto-Master Total Terrain T/As, deep tread but not aggressive, very silent,no road noise at all,265-75R-16-LR-E, drove and rode like a dream, for about 7000 miles that is,then started to get I guess what one would call bump steer,kinda rough when hitting bumps on the hiway,got a little worse, then the death wobble was back, after 4 times DW,changed the inverted Y steering to the new T steering setup, my old steering tie-rods were still like new,no wear whatsoeer, anyway,new T steering,new steering shock,new shocks, always had the DSS on and a 3 turn steering box, no death wobble but still get the feeling that it maybe wants to start the death wobble when hitting bumps but cant because the T steering holds everything tight, now I come to find out that the Moto-Master Total Terain tire is made by BFG, and a lot of posters here and on other sites have said if they run BFGs, they get the death wobble, as I did also when I had the BFGs on and now I get it with the Moto-Masters made by BFG. My daughter inlaw has new Goodyear rubber (10,000miles) said they are quiet and smooth, on her truck so today I might swap front tires with her and see if it takes away the sort of vibration and so called bump steer on mine,actually I drove hers and it is very,very smooth,its even a 3500-2006 model, where mine is a 2001.5-2500 model. If it helps, then my only recourse is to get new tires AGAIN, and I will only this time it will be top of the line Michelins.

 

Trojans.

Now that YOU'RE giggling, here goes:

Firestone TransForce: never again: they wear out too fast.
Cornells: same.
Michelin XPS RIB: Oh, do I wish I could get 'em in 17s! Best tires I ever had on my 91 D350 4x2 DRW; good for 105,000 to 115,000 miles.
Wranglers: see Firestone.
BFG Commercial T/A(I've often wondered what T/A stands for!): Currently using them on my 06 3500 DRW 4x2 running 11,000# all the time(this is my A/C service truck) and am happy so far; decided to try 'em as they have a centre rib to help limit torque feathering, they are made by Michelin and Mich doesn't market a tire with their own name that meets my needs in a 17".

 

I've been happy with the Cooper ST's. Run them on 3 different trucks now. I haven't wore a set out yet, so I don't know what kind of mileage you can expect out of them, but they've been great for me on snow and ice. They are a bit pricey though. Only thing I'm wishing is I'd of got 255/85s instead of the 265/75s.

 

I just put a set of new wrangler Silent Armors. I've only got like 150 miles on them but they seem alright. The only issue I have is that they seem skitish like they want to follow every road crack.

 

My dad had a set of those on his Dakota, and ur right, for what they cost, they were terrible.

Really? We use em on our service trucks/vans at work doin 80 down the turnpike loaded down with equipment and we get a real good life outta em, considering how we use em. It's the only tire we've ran.

 

I use the Michelin ATX2 on both trucks. My 2001.5 had 88,000 miles on the Michelin LTX stockers and had a good bit of tread left. I had them replaced with the ATX2 tread design a few years back because winter was comming and I wanted more bite. They are wearing like iron at 150,000 miles and have plenty of tread left to get me through this coming winter.

The LTX tread design was not noisy when highway driving but sure would get the truck stuck in the grass with just a light dew on the ground. The ATX 2
tires give me no trouble at all under any circumstances. Sure, they are pricey, but they are well worth it!
