Default Lets Talk Tires

I am running the Goodyear Wrangler RT/S... I like them, but weighing the options before replacing. What are you running and do you like them?

I just had Cooper Discoverer H/T's installed on mine, as that's what I had on the Ram. Traction is great and they seem to last longer than some of the other ones I had.

I have been a BFG man forever. Now that Comp T/A's are no longer available for my R/T, they have substituted the for the new Longtrail Touring T/A's.

I too run cooper disocver AT/R tires. 265/75/16 is the tire size. I got them for free new but I would have gone with bridgestone duelers or whatever they are called. However I do want to try the goodyear dura trac tires as they seem to fit what I need/use the Durango for.

Goodyear duratrac's here. Love 'em for wheeling, on road, and towing. Unfortunately it seems as if I'll only get 45k out of them and they don't have a mileage warranty.

45k ain't too bad. That'd last me 10 years..

I have a 2012 ram and it'll need new tires in about 20k miles. It has 8k on the truck now.. Goodyear tires from the factory

My original Good Years lasted 50,000 miles. Since I do a 5-tire rotation, that equates to 40,000 per tire. I hated the ride and they were awful in the ice and snow.

My next set were Toyo - I don't remember the exact model, but they were AT and all season. The ride was harder but grip in the wet and in winter was better. These lasted about 75,000 miles (60,000 per tire).

Based on the Tire Rack reviews, I next wanted the General Grabber AT but could not get them in the size I wanted. So I bought Michellin LTX and love them. The ride is softer than the Toyo but grip especially in the wet or ice and snow is far better - this is important since I live in Minnesota.

The Michellin's are expensive but I believe worth it. For cheaper, I would suggest the General Grabber AT

Les Schwab Wildcat A/T. Do you guys on in the midwest/east coast have Les Schwab? As for the tire I like it but don't have a lot of experience with others, and haven't had the chance to test the snow capabilities yet. What did you all pay for a set all said and done? My set was $950 for 31x10.50 r15
