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...

Funny, just replaced the Michelin LT 265/70R 18E's on my Chevy last week. At 39000 miles they had barely any tread left and were useless in the snow. I put on Cooper Discoverer A/T3 XLT's as I had them on another truck and liked them a lot. They have an aggressive tread but are super quiet! They also ride better, must be the rubber is more supple or something but what a difference. I'm good about rotating my tires and keeping an eye on pressure, not sure why mine wore out so quickly.
Keep an eye on tire pressure and rotating them, every set of those coopers I see are scalloped all to heck, not sure if it’s every owner having alignment issues or that they are prone to wearing funny.
I can comment that I’ve had good luck with both BFG t/a Ko’s on my previous truck and even better with my factory Michelin AT2’s on my current truck, they’ve been wearing fantastic and at 35000km’s they are at 11/32 all the way around. These are used in the summer only and have approx 25000 of those km’s that are towing km’s. They are OK in the mild Offroad or in wet grass but that’s about it, otherwise they are quiet and smooth. I’ll probably buy a set again based on my experience.
My wife Explorer sport now has the Defender MS on it as a replacement for the hankooks it came with that wore after barely two summers, they aren’t quite as sporty but they are quiet, smooth, great in the rain and in one summer they only wore 1/32 from the factory 10/32 - perfect for our 50 miles per day commute.
