Bad Day in Tires

Well this will be the third set of tires in 8 months!
Size 315/70/17 A/T tire
First set I bought where Goodyear Dura trac which where horrible out of round!
Where talking over 35 in road force numbers. Had three changed out!
Long story short off truck! Very poor tire! Dealer suggested BF Goodcrap sayes it! Three are out of round! They don't balance! Hard as hell beat truck to death! They got to go!
I had Goodyear MTR 37's on truck before they where fine and wore out good.

So what suggestion do you guys have with your tires in my size only 315's or 35's A/T Tire?

I'm looking at firestone destination a/t hard to get right now!
or Yokohama AT or General Grabber!

Thanks for any input!

I am on my 3rd set of tires on my truck.

pro comps (37x13.5x20) were first- wore great. had minor balancing issues but no big deal

super swamper (39.5x13.5x20) second set. wore terrible, tons of weight. only reason i got em was i paid $500 for the set brand new. friend in texas bought and did not want

toyo 37x13.5x20 mt. 35k miles on so far still have 40-50% wear left, balance killer! rides great.

ALL LOAD RANGE E TIRES.

my personal choice is toyo mt.

The Toyo AT are a decent tire. I am on my second set now. They don't seem to get the 50K milage that they are guaranteed for but I got a prorated discount on my second set. They seem to be a good all around tire.

bummer to hear about the GY duratraks i thought they sounded like an awesome winter tire but they only make load range d in the 285/75/17 size i want and your experience with the out-o-round just sealed the deal i'm stayin away! I'm also a fan of the toyos had both the AT and MT great tires just so much $$....

I had Toyo AT's before the new Mt's. Both great tires. My new Mt's are made right here in the USA also. The Firestone/Bridgestone 315's are E rated and share Bridgestone's Uni-T mould process. They should balance fine.

35 lbs. road force is nothing for a full sized truck like ours. I'd be looking for another problem.

Sucks to have problems regardless. Hope you get it sorted out!
