Time to Re-tire

Its time for new tires for my 2005 Dodge dually. Currently it has General Ameritrac LT235/80R 17E 117R tires. I don"t know the mileage on them as I bought the truck used but they have nice even wear on them. A rough estimate is between 40-50000 miles.Coincidentally, as I browsed some of the tire dealers, the same tire appears to be the cheapest available.(145 plus shipping and installation at Tire Rack) We tow a bumper pull horse trailer so the weight is not excessive. Anyone have any other suggestion.

Thanks

Fred

    Hankook tires are getting good reviews. Next up the line might be BFGoodrich Commercial TA

    I always bought used one's off wrecked trucks, some had less than 4k on them. I'm not a fan of $300 tires, I'm just too cheap, and know they all wear out anyway.

    I'm no fan of the "cheapest" tire. Rather the most affordable for my application
