another tire thread....opinions?
I have a '15 Chev 2500 D/A and at 25000 miles the OE Michelins are getting thin already. I live in the Sierras and deal with winding roads, snow and ice a lot. I was considering BFG AT KO2's but am st...

I've had the Yoko G015's for 20k miles. Don't tow, but occasionally haul dirt and gravel, and occasionally help move a friend. I had them during the arctic blast last year and they did great, worthy of the snow flake rating. In all honesty, I think you should expect about 2 (15k miles a year) or 3 (10k miles a years) worth of snow traction. After that, the snow sipes are worn and you have a regular all-terrain tire. I also drive on the beach and on fire roads. They do fine traction wise in those situations, don't really slide anywhere unless I'm being stupid.
Also very happy with the handling and ride quality. They do hum a bit more than a highway tread tire (I originally had the Firestone H/T's). But nothing intrusive so far. Tires aren't as squirmy as the Duratracs I had on my previous F-150. It's a much more solid feeling tire over the Duratracs. These tires are also stiffer than the Firestones I had previous. But the negative is that these tires do transmit more road imperfections into the cab due to their stiffness. So it's all give and take. I'm happy with em.
