Truck Tires

What tire have you found to be long lasting, and durable. I have a 2016 3/4 ton truck that is my every day driver ,plus my tow rig. I'm coming up on a new set of tires ,as the original ones (Firestone Transforce E rated) have 21,000 miles on them and are shot. My son has the same truck,only a year older .pulls a 5th wheel,and just put on a set of BFG's AT2's that didn't last 20,000 miles .
Yes he kept up on rotation. So ,what are you guys running that have given you very good milage and service, and have a some what AT tread. My tires are 20inch.--Thank you for all recommendations
  • I run and like the BFGs and get considerably better mileage. I wonder if it’s the difference between Arizona heat and Oregon cold. We need to run snowflake rated tires, so that may have something to do with it.

    Lots of good choices. Best of luck.
  • Toyo Open Country AT2
    Cooper AT3 or ST Maxx

    I have the BFGs on my truck too and they aren't wearing very well. I got a deal on them and didn't really expect them to wear real well, but I was hoping for a little better than I'm getting. They do perform well otherwise. The snowflake rating is very handy in the winter.
  • I can't speak to 20" tires, and perhaps there's a difference, but my experience with both car and truck tires up to 18" is, the few times I've chosen other than Michelins, I have been very disappointed with getting more than 30,000 miles.

    My most recent set of Mich truck tires went over 60,000 miles. However, and it's a big however, I had a RR blowout while pulling my FW last summer. I don't know if it was caused by a road hazard, age, or miles. It was the first Mich blowout I've ever had. Regardless, I still went out and replaced the whole set with more Michelins.
