Truck Tires

I have P275 / 65R18 Goodyear tires. Treadware 500, Traction A, and Temp B.....and they only have 35,000 miles on them. We took a long 2,500 mile trip last year and it took a huge toll on tread ware of the tires as well as a short trip through the CO mountains over the 4th that pretty much set me for replacements.

I don't tow anything other than my TT during the summer months, its all just transport miles for my wife and kids.

Looking for recommendations for long lasting trend while pulling the TT, but also very smooth (quiet) riding tires the rest of the year.....that hopefully gets 50-60,000 miles. Do they exist?

    Towing seems to be very hard on tires.
    I can tell you the Toyo's A/T's are no good for long wear either..
    I was thinking michelins too, BFG all trail (i think) my brother has 70k on his 3500 srw ram about ready for new ones.
