Truck Tires

[hillbilly rick]

I'm sure this has been covered a 100 times, but my searches are turning up too many irrelevant threads. I finally bought a trailer and need to upgrade my truck tires. I have a half ton 2008 Silverado. My max total towed weight will be 7000 and max gross combined weight will be just under 12,000. My longest tow will be about 70 miles one way a couple times a year. Most of the time, the truck will be trailerless. Without the trailer, I do some moderate 4x4 driving to my hunting property, and this is my primary vehicle when the snow if flying. Any brand/model recommendations?

I've had good luck with both Coopers and Michelins.

For my rig, I am all Michelin! I like how they ride and how they last, even on my F-250, that carries a load regularly.

Toyo , had michelin ltx, worthless crap, handled like a wallowing pig in mud.


Make sure you get LT's, passenger tires belong on cars.

Hands down the best all around tire is the Goodyear Wrangler Dura Tracs. I have had them all and this is the closest thing to a MT Tire in a AT package.

I've had excellent luck with BFG all terrains KO tires. They last forever, work great in the snow and off road, and can handle a load well. They are a little noisy but give a good ride for a truck tire.

Definitely LT tires, makes a difference in towing situations.

I have Firestone Destination AT and have been very pleased in your use cases (road, snow, trailering, and light/medium off road). My truck is '06 Tundra DC 4x4.

55 thousand on Toyos AT on three quarter ton Dodge could not be happier goes well in mud or snow or rain probably another 20000 miles left
