tow rig tire

[MTChevy]

hey guys, my 97 powerstroke is due for tires. sees plenty of highway and the occasional dirt roads... it is a 265/75/r16. What do you guys suggest for a reasonably priced tire?

I run 35x12.50x17 BFG KM2's on my '99 Powerstroke. I absolutley love them. They have been great in the rain, snow & ice. This is my DD and tow rig. No mud experience yet, but don't expect them to let me down. The stronger sidewalls sure help the truck corner better.

I have been happy with my BFG rugged trail tires on my cummins.

On our tow rig for the RV lot I always buy 10 ply tire. Holds up better for hauling 5th wheels and TT's and of course cars. Other then that we've tried quite a few tires but only 10 ply's have the lasting power for what we do. It's a 96 ford diesel.

i am contemplating putting bfg km2's 305/70r16's on my 2001 dodge quad cab 4x4 diesel. i have gy mtr's 285/75r16's on it now.

Michelin LTX AT2 for the win!

I had the LTX ms tires on my Sub, the are a very high milage tire. The new at2 takes the high milage and gives it some nice tread.

Next on the list that i have seen and heard people run is the bridgestone dueler

i have seen more people get super ride and mileage from bfg at than most any other tire out there. and thay 90% of the time buy another set when thay are gone. and if you keep up on rotation and no smoke shows and good alignment 45-50k miles is not a problem.

the Michilin ltx is double that. The set on the burb had over 75k on them and still had life when I added on some bigger bfg's.


You can, "and many people do" push these to 100k

I put a set of goodyear wrangler silentarmor's on my 2500 cummins 2 years ago, i got them on a 4 for 3 sale and came with a 80,000 km tread life warranty, i could stab them with a knife and get a new one. they see logging roads and lease roads fairly often and I tow my 22 foot flat deck with the blazer on it regularly, I barely notice any wear.

they arent the greatest " offroad" tires, (i got stuck in some sand at the beach a few weeks back) but as far as gravel, logging roads and mild rocks are concerned they are great. and they have a kevlar band instead of steel ( I think) and are super quiet on the highway and ride much better than my last set of rubber.
oh and mine are 285/75/r16... thats my vote.

I've had the same experience and was going to recommend the same tire

Toyo m-55's for sure rugged tire and ten ply laswted quite a while on d-max's at work always near or over max capacity.

 

[SCOOBYDANNN]

Michelin hands down, have them on the deuce and the daily. You pay a little more, but get twice the tire. I vote for the M/S's cause i dont do a whole lot of dirt driving in the deuce, but the daily does better than my blazer in the sand???

michelins have a bad problem about dry rotting depending on where you live in the country.....

I like the BFG AT, the Goodyear Silent Armor, or Nitto Dura-Grappler......
