- IdaDExplorerFalken Wildpeak AT3W. Just check them out, I know they're a lesser known brand but I'm super impressed with the set I put on my Ram last fall.

I ran Nitto Dura Grapplers for my last 2 sets on my trucks... the Dura Grappler is more of. street tire, if yo want more of a AT, try the Terra Grappler G2....
I had the Dura Grapplers on my 14 Ram dually and it was an ok tire but they were worn out at 27K miles towing about 85% of the time. I know this goes against many on here but I am not a Michelin fan and after 3 terrible sets I have bought I would not put them on my lawn mower now. I just put a set of Sailun Terramax HTL's on my truck for half the price of most other tires out there and have been very impressed so far. Don't know about how well they will wear yet but hope they do as well as their trailer tires. I run 80 psi in the front and 68 in the rears seems to be the sweet spot with 3400lbs pin weight in the bed.
These tires were made in Vietnam not China. - BusdriverExplorer III have had good luck with nitto crossteck
- blt2skiModeratorToyo M55 great traction100k on rear of my dually.
Agree grit too - autorot8ExplorerI just went with the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT. These do come with a 60k mile warranty. I've seen mostly good reviews from those hauling or towing with them.

That's not better.... I prefer "Made in the USA"- Grit_dogNavigatorExcept none of those pavement pounder tread designs are good all season tires, unless all of your seasons don't have the white stuff in them. But the OP is from Denver, so....
However, take a set of pavement pounder tires, like any of the M brand models or that pic of the Sailons and sipe em as deep as you can and they do good on ice, but not great in loose snow or deep snow still. - Cummins12V98Explorer III

What is anyone using for tires. It seems that I go through tires at about 25k. I keep vehicle aligned and tires rotated regularly, air at 80 PSI on rear tires. Trailer weight is 14k. No irregular tire wear. 80% highway driving, 20% highway towing. I just don't seem to get good tire wear. Any ideas?
Do you know your actual loaded and unloaded weights? Do you run 80 rear unloaded? Weigh loaded and unloaded. Use the weight inflation chart for your tires. Add 5psi rear and 10 psi front to what the chart says. I guarantee you will have much longer tire life.
Michelin MS2's
As far as towing being hard on rear tires well I guess it must be the tires! My Michelins look great even with 6k pin weight running 68 psi. - Cummins12V98Explorer III

Same here! Especially now with the Communist Chinese responsible for so many deaths around the world!!! - Cummins12V98Explorer IIIBridgestone makes a tire that wears like iron, may not be as smooth of a ride as Michelin but if you are after LONG tire life.
