anyone using Firestone Transforce HT tires ?

Went to a few local tire shops today to get prices for my 2001 GMC Sierra one ton dually 4 x 4. Tire size is 215/85 x 16 and came in at $118.90 per tire. I looked on line and the reviews I could find were very positive. Seems like a lot of tire for the money. I can get six of them mounted, balanced and tax for $828.78. Seems like a lot of tire for the money. Thoughts ?

  • Just put 6 nw ones on my MH. Paid a little more than that.
  • Bought my 2004 F250 with them (used) and had almost 80,000 on them I replaced with the same firestone transforce HT's and like these as much.
  • I put a set on in December. The $ sounds right. Smooth and quiet. Have about 6k on them so far...all towing.
  • I used them on my work van for years. No problems, but I didnt think that they wore that well. I never used them for hauling a TC. I started using Generals and Ive had good luck with them. The OEM set that I got with the dually truck gave me 50K miles so I stuck with the same brand.
  • Have not used them since 2006, but from 1999 to 2006, that is all we used on our personal trucks and the ranch trucks. Never had a problem with them and IMO, they are they best in that price point. We have switched all of our trucks over to Hankook tires as they do have a heavier side wall and the way we use our trucks on the ranch, we need the heavier tire. We are also very satisfied with the Hankook DynaPro tires.
