Tires For Pickup Truck LEAST Problematic Your Opinion?

My truck is not a dually. So when it's loaded and a rear tire explodes it is scary. Especially on a curve.

Has any brand "stood out" from others for the 235X85R16 size tire?

  • Michelin and BF Goodrich, around 4 years old. Checked for proper inflation. The tires just disintegrated when they blew. One each side of the rear. Then a front B.F. Goodrich got an inside bulge so big it rubbed on the tie-rod end. A General developed cracks parallel to the wheel rim at 3 years of age. This gets sort of tiring.
  • After about a year of looking through RV and Pickup truck forums, I chose to go with Michelins XPS Ribs....Based on the comments I read these tires seemed to have the fewest problems and many people reported that they lasted longer than any tire they had bought previously.

    Although I haven't put a lot of miles on them I'm very satisfied with them after 1 1/2 years.
  • I can't remember the last time I had a problem with a major brand truck tire. is this something that happens to you frequently? What brand have you been using?
