Truck Tires... Not A/Ts... Which ones?
 
I have always used BFG ATs.. Always. On my own trucks that is..
The work truck (F350 CC Dually) needs 6 new sneakers, tomorrow!
This truck is 4wd but NEVER goes off road. 4WD is only for launch ramps. The truck does nothing but tow 15,000+lbs. This truck will see 10,000 miles this month alone. (Miami to Chicago, to 1000 islands Canada, back to Miami, then to Long Beach Cali, and back to Miami pulling AMIII) :eek:
I need a HD tire, 235/85-16 that has good grip, great wear, and a tough sidewall. E Rated of course.

Lets hear it boys...

BFGoodrich Rugged Trail. I have 4 of them, E-rated, and I love the way they tow and handle.

MICHELIN LTX M/S
Premium, all-season that combines durability, traction and quiet ride

LT235/85R-16/E1 ORWL


For that many miles I would use the Michelin, they last forever.......

Rugged Trail T/A and the LTX M/S would both be good choices,, probably the best Tire made is the Michelin XPS Rib, all steel casing and 10 ply! They wear like Iron and would be perfect if you don't need and aggresive Tread pattern.

The RIBs look a little too slick though..
I guess I'll go get the LTXs...

Thanks guys. :drink:

Highway: Michelins! They're Well-balanced, have long-life, and are stable.
Off-Road: BFG

I have run firestone, michelin, and bfg. At this point I have to say that the Yokohama geolander e rated tire is the best tire I have ever used for towing and just all around wet dry grip.
