Michelin LTX
or
Bridgestone Duravis
No point, IMO, in other tire lines. Pick appropriate model.
As another noted, diesel pickups aren’t themselves the problem. But one ton series truck expected to do real work over long distances shouldn’t ever skimp on tires ( or brakes).
I’m newly onto the second set of replacement tires at 215,000 (miles, not time). .
First A/S went 120k at 4/32, and second set to 80k plus with 5/32 total wear. Then all four failed (2006-date code) in 2012. Note miles.
Michelin gave me a complete new set of M/S within 1/2-hour of calling for $300 out the door. 90-miles on a rollback to “my” Tire Rack dealer and I was good to go within the hour. Had them rolled out & waiting for me.
Had they not deteriorated early (and my life not changed) I was on track to have made it to a quarter-million miles with two sets of tires
I might or might not rotate at 25k intervals. My driving is 50/50 town & country. One brake job in 14-Years at 120k. Didn’t need it then, and guess I ought to do it again even though it doesn’t really “need” it now.
Respect the truck. Don’t push it around. Let it tell you what it wants. If that doesn’t make sense, go back to a Camry. 70k for tires and brakes should be a minimum.
At the same time, sloppy steering, cheap shock absorbers and inferior brake materials will magnify bad habits. I upgraded my 2WD with a rear anti-roll bar and upsized the front. The body no longer moves against the suspension. Easier, IOW, to enter and exit a turn. And while the trailer is almost unnoticeable, can’t say that about crosswinds. This effect was minimized. Already had 4600 Bilsteins.
All of this makes life easier on tires (pressure according to Scale value loads). So, look farther out at what could increase the tire wear rate.
(Also had to update signature to reflect $3/gal diesel with trip plan fuel cost numbers).
