The Michelin LTX series and the Bridgestone Desert Duelers series are the two tires I've had the most success with over the years. premium price, especially in that size, but well worth the cost.

Those size tires are so expensive,couldnt talk the wife out those. As soon as she saw them she just had to have them. The guy at Sams said they would come in under a 1,000, would discount tire beat their price?

I have a feeling they would be about 1000 for the LTX. they list at 256, but then there's a couple extra fees, but then 70 rebate, plus you can normally talk them down a little bit.

I'd look at the BFG Long trail TA. I have them on one vehicle and have been very impressed. They list at 184 at Discount, plus 50 rebate. (for that size)

And I always dicker on tires and they always knock some $$$ off.

If those Michelin are the ones Ford put on my Explorer to replace the Firestones it came with they are great. Mine have at least 70k on them and could be more like 80+ since the recall was in 2000 and they are still on the car. And still have tread.

It depends on what you like. I like the Michelins because of the grip and less road noise even towards the end of the tread life. I tend more towards street tread, and the ride and tracking are very nice with the Michelins. I have seen some radical mud treads on those japanese tires. They look pretty good, like they should do the job.

Best I've found for the money are Donlops. They ride nice, and come in more of the sizes you want. They bite pretty good too, depending on the style you like. I know that doesn't sound scientific, but they're worth a look.

I have General Grabber HTS on my Dodge Megacab and I am very happy with them. 65,000 miles sofar and have another at least 10,000 or more, and MOSTLY I never rotated them blush

Good traction on ice and packed snow, and mostly very quiet. They cost almost 1/2 of Michelins.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
