Truck Tires?


Recommended Posts

In the market for some new shoes for my 01' Chev H.D. Crew cab. Got the stock alloy wheels on. Right now there's some 265/75's on it. Just looking for some input and experiences with some good quality tires in or around that size. I'm not looking for a "mudder" type tire but they would need good snow traction. Thanks in advance!

Airjer - I saw your truck in CG on Monday night, pretty hard to miss grin. We were on the way back from my youngest's soccer game at Kingston.

Was it the Salsa Red color, The HSO sticker in the back window, or the license plates that gave it away? grin My boys are on the silver team. I've seen a couple HSO stickers in the parking lot one of them has to be yours. wink

I thought my Dueler Revo's wore pretty fast, but I looked at the mileage today and I actually got about 75k out of them. Pretty good.

Having said that I put a new set of Firestone Destination AT's on there today. They got good reviews, and Tires Plus has a pretty good deal on them....even cheaper than Tire Rack.

Number one rated tire is the Michelin. When you get a traction style tire all manufacturers drop the mileage warranty. Never ran the Michelin but leaning towards them for the dually which needs tires very soon. In another week or so Michelin is going to start offering $70 off a set of four.

Ran BFG ATKO's with very good luck on the F250 Super Duty. First set got 83K miles second set got 75K miles.

Got a set of Ravo E's on the Excursion and they are horrible. Biggest waste of money of any tire ever put on a vehicle. One had a blow out at 30K miles, one is completely bald and cupped at 50K miles, and the other two originals are not looking good. For the high cost of these tires they are not worth it. The previous set of Goodyear Wranglers which are much cheaper got 60K miles out of them.

... Dueler Revo's ... Pretty good.

... Firestone Destination AT's ...

I have been impressed with both of those tires on the vehicles I have had them on. Good AT tires if the vehicle is going to see a lot of highway miles. The tires I had were still "Passenger" tires so they got good mpg (for a truck)

I have also had BFG AT's. IMO, great tires for driving on backwoods roads, on the lake in moderate to fairly deep snow. Good tread life. A little noisey compared to the Bridgestone and Firestones. They also dropped the mpg's (I think that may be a function of the tires being Light Truck tires instead of Passenger tires, that is a SWAG on my part though).
