11chevz71 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Yeah that right i need a new set of tire and dread it every time. Not the new tire part the hole in my pocket part:lol:. I was going to avoid this and get a different vehicle because i wanted to upgrade. But none of the trucks i look at did anybody wanted to deal on so i am back to keeping the truck. Which is probably a good choice right now! Also might get that line-x i wanted and maybe a leveling kit. So i am currently running a Bfg ko all terrian. And i wonder what other people were runing and might be worth trying. Things Needed in the tire All terrian-Truck pounds pavement and dirt. Not like some black Avalanches i see on here:D Last at least 40,000 Good wet weather abilitys And more things that i am not thinking of at moment I am currently look at bfg, nitto, and bridgestones. So any suggestions? Tread Pics of the tire currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11chevz71 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Also guy i cant do a highway tire. Wish i could for the 500-700 miles i put on a week but i dont like the way they handle in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mato Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I love my BFG TA/KO's, I would go with the same tire your currently using. But, if your looking for another great all around A/T tire. Go with the Bridgestone Dueler Revo2. If your driving that much they are great on the highway and do fantastic on snow/dirt/ice. Also, you will probably see an increase in MPG vs the KO's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_pappy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I had some Michellins on our Yukon GT and loved them, Cross Terrain or something. Not a serious off road tire, but pretty capable. I'll probably put them on my truck when it needs tires. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightMare Silverado Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Military tires are pretty BA. I've also heard good things about the Goodyear wrangler's nice agressive AT tread. I'm dreading having to replace the toyo's on the truck they cost average 16-1800 a set. I'll be looking for something WAY cheaper when due.

Lunchbox Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I got some Goodyear Duratracs. Can't really tell you from my experience how they perform because they arrived at the house about 2 weeks after I was deployed. Everything I have read about them says they kick the BFG AT's butts.

Chewy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I wanted higher mileage, quiet tires that were rated well. I got on tire rack (for reference) and looked around. Hankook's were rated VERY well and the prices seemed pretty spot on too. OEM's are using them now so I thought WTHeck... Here's a review of them... http://www.trucktrend.com/features/gear/163_0710_hankook_dynapro_rf10_all_terrain_tires/index.html http://www.trucktrend.com/features/gear/163_0710_hankook_dynapro_rf10_all_terrain_tires/photo_03.html They're quiet, look good, and have super deep sypes(sp?) for great water and snow traction. I honestly couldn't be happier with them. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70'sChevyGirl Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 My husband just put new tires on his Tahoe. I am not sure of the brand but I do know that he called around for prices and the same tire shop from one city to another was $250 cheaper. We drove 3 miles further to get the better deal. Shop around for prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Also guy i cant do a highway tire. Wish i could for the 500-700 miles i put on a week but i dont like the way they handle in the rain. I have Continental CrossContact LX's on my Frontier and they are great in the rain. I am almost to the wear bars and they still handle better than the General Grabber HTS that I replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad519 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 BFG All Terrain's are what I've always ran. They have always lasted over 50K miles. They aren't great on wet pavement though. I recently swapped to Mickey Thompson ATZ's and I love them but haven't ran them long enough to give a fair review. General Tire makes a good, less expensive All Terrain. I've never heard anything negative about Cooper Tire either and they actually manufacture the Mickey Thompson ATZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 My last tires on mine were the cool looking meaty Coopers and the got louder and louder and harder and harder with miles. Too aggressive for me and crap in the wet and snow. You need the cuts in the tire rubber for best snow and water traction.

DieselDude Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Currently on my SUV I have Toyo Open Country H/T and they have been the best tire that I have ever had on a vehicle. The four that are on my SUV now says MADE IN THE USA. I may try the Toyo Open Country A/T when it comes time to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDude Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Thanks for the reminder!! Gotta get some winter rubber for my Coupe. If your looking for winter tires you may want to try these: FIRESTONE WINTERFORCE. I have used them in the winter and have found them to be a great winter tire. We had two weeks of snow/ice on the roads back in January (you did not see any pavement or markings on the road) and I did not have any trouble getting to and from work.

fortplainman Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 so you want an a/t? you really have one of the better ones that are offered out there. others you may consider are the cooper zeon, general grabber, nitto/toyo a/t, pro comp a/t/xtreme a/t. i just like the way m/t look, but i most likely will be running a a/t in the winter. i love the looks of the toyos/coopers/nitto trail grapps and they all last very well.
