I've got about 5K on them now. They do fairly decent in mud, but I'm waiting on a good load of snow before I really give these tires credit. I would have gone with another set of MT tires in a heartbeat, but as it is now, I'm putting over 30K a year on my truck. MT tires just don't hold up well to that kind of mileage. The only thing I don't like about these is just the shear tread pattern. The patterns like that has are prone to shudder a little at low speeds. ~30MPH.
One thing I really like about them is the fact that the nubs are spaced far enough apart that they don't grab rocks and chuck them.

Since they are a 10Ply, I feel fairly confident in saying that these are going to wear like iron. I have seen the same set of tires on another ram, and the owner swears that he sees about 80K out of each set. (This was his third set of them)

 

I know what ya mean. i got quoted $1100 for some bf goodwrench all-terrains (265/75/16). i was like no! luckly my 2nd cusin is the manager of a local big-10. i got some Kumho Road Ventures for $50 a peice, which i am happy with (got them b.c the Summit trail climbers that were on there wore weird and rode like crap. Still got em $150 for the set ). but i am going to be gettin my tires, if not from my cusin, from performanceplustire.com they have some good deals. Remington mud brutes are like $144 a peice on there.

 

For my 255/70/16 I was quoted 700+ for. I paid 488 shipped tp my house. With new wheels and tires I paid 1100 bucks.

 

If your truck has 3.55's, I would stay with the 265/75/16. I went from 245/75/16 to 285/75/16, and before I got the 4.56 gears put in, the truck was very sluggish with the 285's. My sig pic has the 285/75/16 tires on the stock chrome wheels like you wanted a pic of.

 

^^^^ What does the 255 70R16 tire look like compared to the 265/75 or the 285/75?

Everyone: thanks for the advice. I was worried I would have to chunk down tons of money just for tires but I'm going to look for and order online, then take them to a shop to install.

I would like a fairly aggressive looking tire like the ST but if you know of another 'hybrid' tire I should consider let me know.

 

Bob, thanks for the pic. Doesn't look that much different than my 265s. I'm not worried about running a bigger tire. My truck can't get out of its way with worn down 265s so going bigger doesn't bother me. The only thing that will ever make my truck fast is to put a CTD in it.

 

Have you looked at the cooper LTZ?

 

You may want to check Craigslist. My truck had perfectly good 245's on it when I bought it, but I really didn't like the look of them. I got mine, almost brand new, for $400, mounted and balanced, from a guy who was putting a lift and big tires on his truck, that he had just bought.

 

Was that directed at me? This might help http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

 

Lol!!! BF GoodWrench!!!!!

I paid just under $500 for my 265/75/R16 GoodYear Wrangler TDs. But they are a ****ty tire. DO NOT BUY THEM! I am going to get 285/70/R17 Toyo Open Countys next. May try the General Grabber A/T2 tires on my S-10.
