It's 2025 and I need Dually Tires!
It's that time and my experience with Dually tires is they wear out quickly no mattery who, what or where and getting the right tire can make that less painful.
At work we ran Les Swabb tires and they did ok under heavy use but I'm trying to see who's got a decent tire that won't cut too deeply into my summer plans (ie. won't cost me an arm and leg).
I'm looking at the Firestone Transforce AT2 since it seems many recommend them for a dually and I do have a knarly 3 mile stretch of rocky trail/road I drive to my cabin in the truck now and then and we do some dirt road driving to camping spots when carrying our ArticFox990 which we all know weighs in around 4500lbs fully stocked and ready to go for a couple weeks (maybe slightly less but I figure erroring on the heavy side is smarter).
So, $1500 for Firestones either the AT2's or the HT's
I've got about 45k miles on my OEM tires and they are not slicks yet (even the boys at Swabby's said "they've got life in them yet" but my wife is looking to retire so we figure, renew the tires now while she's working (we're paying cash but easier to spend bigger chunks now than later).
What's your recommendation?
