Tires - 2013 3500HD Denali
Need new tires; currently have Michelin LTX at2; I like but thought I would see if anyone has had a good experience with something else. Truck is mainly used to pull my GVWR 11,000 pound trailer in...

Those MS2's are horrible for Winter driving. Maybe they wear well but if don't perform in "all terrain" then what good are they? I realize that "not a ton of Winter driving" is not very specific, but if it is a possibility I would pull those tires. I just got a 2019 3500 HD with those tires and it is Winter here in Idaho, couldn't get those off fast enough. They were horrible. I put on a set of Nitto EXO Grapplers, pretty aggressive all terrain tire. Great in snow, and ice and off road. This is my 4th set. I have also had good luck with Nitto G2's, less aggressive, less noise but competent in most conditions, has a lot of biting edges which help during the Winter. I have been happy with a set of Cooper SST MAXX, that I have on a DRW.
How many miles are you getting on the Nittos?
45-50K, but I don't run them all the way out. If your not particular about tread you could get more. I had one set go to 55K that still had miles on them but going into Winter I wanted more tread so I got a new set. I am very much OCD about tires, in my view there is nothing more important to staying on the road in the Winter and not having to walkout from BFE Idaho after getting stuck. So I try to find the best tires, and have no problem paying for them to stay fresh. It is not a contest to see how many miles I can get out of them. Performance trumps mileage for me.
