I might be gettin some tires for my truck soon because the nitto grapplers aren't gonna last long. I was wondering what tires for a decent price could last a good amount of time. I mostly all drive on the highway, never off road. I had thought about some Michelin, I want a AT look since my truck is leveled out but its only 2wd. I'm looking for some 265/70R17

 

I liked the Michelins LTX on my suburban but wish I would of got another set of BF Goodrich AT...look better and traction was better and lasted 75k miles...twice...of course those were on a 3500lbs toyota.
Eitherway...both are great and are the same company

 

I went to firestone and they tired to sellme 6 ply tires, I was think those wouldnt work on such a heavy truck

 

You want to stick with at least a D rated tire. For towing you'll want an E. Most of the AT tires will come up to at least a D; a few have E's.

A lot of guys run Pro Comps around here and have had good things to say. I ran them for a while and was very happy with them.

 

I Went With Toyo At's.. They Are E Rated.. I May Not Ever Need The E's Load Rating.. But I Went With The Structure For The Additional Heighth. It Paid Off and I Don't Get The Bouncing I Did With My D's.

But With The Tire Size Your Looking At - An E Rated Tire May Beat You Up.

Goodyear Has Their New Silent Armor's Which Uses Kevlar.. If I Didn't Get The Toyo's That Was My Next Choice...

 

I too am in the market for some tires and I haven't made up my mind.I thought I had with Pro comps, but with diesel escallating likeit is I'm thinking that I'd be better off with a taller skinnier tire to get me the best mpg's

Here's what I'm considering

I put Transforce AT's on my 1500 when I bought my 5th wheel and I love them, They work great in the snow. I checked they come in white letter in 265 70 17

 

I've gotFirestone Destination A/Ts:

They are ok, decent on dry and wet, cheap and quiet and fair in the sand (aired down to 20 PSI).

 

I'm all over the place. One day I'm all with the Transforces, and then I read teh reviews and I'm back to thinking abou the Comps.

Sucks ...
