I started our rotating mine every 5k, then 7500 then 10k....There has never been ANY cupping and all the tires are worn the same according to my cheap 32nd" gauge

3000 mile rotations seems a bit excessive to me?

 

I went with the Bridgestone Duravis 700. It's a mud & snow (M+S), a little more aggressive for my liking, but then I find I am going out in the woods camping, so I didn't mind it.

They do ride a little rougher than the AM generals (oem), but with the camper on the truck, they do NOT bulge out like the generals. I went with a 265 v. 235 stock, just 'cause that was the deal my bro's buddy made. No rubbing, and no the sidewalls do not rub on the duals, when the camper is loaded.

So far, i have ~1000 miles and am pretty happy.

Are they silent on the hwy?

When you say ride "rougher" do you mean they are stiffer?

 

No noticeable noise change in the cab.

I feel more road with them; bumps & cracks in the roadbed.

thanks...
im having trouble deciding between the duravis 700 or the Firestone transforce a/t..maybe which ever one i can get the cheapest!

 

Thanks for that Tony.
I have had several people tell me the 265/70/17 was too wide and would rub.
How heavy is your trailer?

 

The camper weighs ~3200 pounds:
