Tire Talk SUV or Light Truck?
So looking to get new tires on my 2015 Citadel AWD, never been very happy with the tire options available that are marketed for SUVs, also the wife just seems to get flat after flat meanwhile my trucks just never have them and they're farm used. The car came with some 265/50R20s which i assume is stock. Living in the rural midwest im looking to put more of an all terrain on, specifically I like the Hankook DynaPro AT on my truck think the same for the Durango and running with a Light Truck 6ply, but finding tires in that size seems to be geared more toward the SUV world, wondering what sizes you guys are running and what you think about running a LT tire over an SUV rated tire. I am debating the 2.5" lift to give some better ground clearance also
Closest size in the AT2 ive found is a 275/55R20 and 4ply
Pictures and reviews of your setup are welcome

I've had two durangos now, three sets of goodyear Fortera tires (was the OEM tire, would hydroplane by 40,000 miles) and one set of General Grabber tires (current set at 50,000+ miles and still grips fine but looking pretty worn). The Grabbers lasted longer and had MUCH better snow performance, but at the expense of summer/dry handling.
I just bought a second set of rims and will be switching to dedicated Blizzak snow tires in the winter and Pirelli Scorpion in the summer.
I've never had a flat tire period. My wife's van on the other hand loses pressure regularly, regardless of new or old tires - i think her corroded 10 year old aluminum wheels make it hard to get a good seal to the tire. Are you talking about a slow leak of they keep getting punctured?

I have 134,500 miles on my 2011 DD Crew with V-6. My last two sets of tires were these: Continental CROSSCONTACT LX20 WITH ECOPLUS TECHNOLOGY - SIZE: 265/60R18...price on TireRack site is $196 per tire. First set lasted over 70,000 miles and the current set is on par to do the same. OEMs were some cheap Michelins that I had to replace at 30,000 miles. I'll buy a third set of these Continentals if I have the vehicle at that time. I had Continentals (different tire model) on my wife's Accord and got great tread wear and performance from those prior to selling that car.
