Tow vehicle tires
 
I would like some personal experience advice.......
I am getting ready to replace my Michelins on my 2004
f=350 4wd dually
I have gotten good wear out of the tires I have ,but have been less than satisfied with their performance in wet conditions especially when towing
Any advice is greatly appreciated

Try Nitto Terra Graplers... I have load E tires and they are doing well. Great in the wet, straight tracking, and good wear.

You will not find a better riding or longer lasting tire than the Michelin LTX, Period. The new LTX2 is designed a little different and should be a bit better in the rain.

Careful.... Yes the LTX is a good long lasting tire.. But traction is only marginal...
Michelin came out w the LTX AT2, which is a bit more aggressive.
I tried them... for one week.... Then had them taken off. They were the worst set of tires I have had. The biggest complaint was the tracking...The truck would not hold a line....
I wouldn't put them on my truck if they were Free...

I agree. I had a set on my last truck. They lasted forever, but they sucked in the rain and sand.


On my current truck, I'm on my second set of BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A's. I got 80,000 out of my first set. The traction/tracking is excellent.

Try some Cooper Discoverer Atr's.

+1 Had several sets of BFG T/A's. Love them.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING GOODYEAR. They suck for truck tires. I've got brand new Goodyear Wrangler HT's on my F350 Dually and I can't wait to get my 19.5 in and stick the Goodyears on the Myco. I'd only consider Firestone Transforce HT or Yokohama Geolanders for current dually options.

not shure how aggressive of a tire your running but I typically run a mt style tire and then have them fully siped, helps the mt style last longer and awesome traction in the winter snow and ice.

Current truck 2500hd crewcab, 285 goodyear duratac's that I had siped and I will not buy another set. I'm under 10,000 miles on them but they are probably half tread already. Awesome traction, work great ..but not worth the cost/wear

I ran cooper discover stt's (fully siped) on my last truck. Had 40,000 miles on them and they were still around half tread, worked excellent. I'm probably getting another set for my crew cab this year and put the duratracs on my plow truck.

Not shure if they make them anymore but I ran dayton timberline mt's (fully siped) on another truck, put a good 40,000 on them......went on another truck for a good 20,000....and they are currently on my plow truck with under 1/4 tread left. Once again worked excellent, and would buy another set.
