Three's not a lot to choose from on the 225/75/17 size.

Something doesn't sound right here. A LT225/75-17 E would most likely have 2680 lb capacity. I don't see a 225/75-17 size tire anywhere.

Is that a typo ??

Your 2500 GM need a LT E at 3195 lb as a minimum capacity.

Not a typo, that's the size tire that came with the truck. It is E rated and I haven't had any problems towing a 12,000 lb fiver, but I'm not real pleased with the Generals that came on the truck. Just recently BS came out with the Duravis 250 in this size. Although my rruck is 4WD it never leaves the pavement, so based on what I have learned from a couple of you I will go with this tire. Thank you all for your input.

They are Bridgestone tires, very good highway tread but if you need all season traction there are other tires that are better suited.

Ok. It's Duravis.

I love them on our fiver ,very good tires. But for the truck they are street tires. Mud and snow you would be in trouble. I have run Michelin M&S on our single wheel truck for years with no problems.

I don't have a dually just a 2500 Dmax 4x2.

I ran them for years on my truck. My thoughts?

#1 They are a **** good commercial tire.

#2 I thought I would get more mileage out of them. I got about 65,000 out of them. I thought I would get about 80+. About 1/2 towing in very hot weather most of the time.

#3 They are VERY heavy and well built.

#4 They are a very hard tire.

#5 I don't see these tires EVER cracking.

#6 I thought about capping them because the casing was so good.

I broke my promise to myself and went and bought Michelin tires a few months ago. I don't think the Michelin tire are built as well. The Michelin tires ride nicer than the BS. The Michelins are a softer tire. I was assured I would get 70K+ miles out of the Michelins. I don't think that will happen but I don't know and won't know for about 7 to 10 or so years.

All in all the BS were good tires. I was going to buy them again but got the Michelins for $200 bones less and wanted to see what all the hype was about. I was disappointed that I didn't get 80K+ out of the BS though.

That's my take on the whole deal.

Hankooks are good and not too expensive.

Can't find that brand anywhere.
