Tires
« on: March 28, 2017, 04:28:20 AM »
What are you guys running for tires? I have been running BFGoodrich AT 10 ply for the last couple years. They changed there compound and am now getting less than 20,000 miles out of them, ran Michelans before that getting about 18,000. Don't mind spending the coin, but I need something from it.

Holy crap! Are you serious? How much tongue weight are you running on your trailer? Does it seem to wear on the steers more than the rears and are you rotating them regularly? My old ford was getting over 35,000 miles and you know how heavy it was loaded, perhaps it was the torsion bars that I added, you might want to try them!

Actually the ones that are worn the worst are on my old truck, they get rotated every 5000 miles, and they have not hauled anything yet.

When I bought my truck it had Nitto Terra Grapplers on it. Getting close to 30K since then. I don't know how many miles were on them before that. I don't think they were real new at the time.

They don't have a not of life left in them but I am hoping to make it till fall. Not many options in 20" 10 ply all terrain.

I ran the Cooper all terrain exclusively on my old Ford, loaded very heavy almost all the time, great traction, quiet and always got over 35,000 miles.

I have been running the Cooper Discoverer AT3 on both of my trucks. Seems like everyone else around me is too. Haven't had a trouble in mud , snow , sand. Fairly quiet on the street. There is a big diference  in the tread between the P series and the LT series. I put the LT's on my 1500 not because I needed the heavier tire they have twice the meat on them. I used to run BFG all terrains on everything until the price went so high and they started using softer compounds. Honestly I think all the tires are like everything else these days not made to last worth a s@#t.

The Goodrich tires did go up a lot, and the softer compound, I guess there is a problem with them blowing apart going down the road.
