What's everyone's opinion on their choice for the best tire for the truck???

I like the "square" tires best! They make a better sound going down the road:)

06 Dodge Ram 3500. Just put my third set of Michelin LTs on. I got 70K out of the first set but only 65K out of the second. Of course the second set I put 16,000 miles towing at or just over my rating on some pretty rugged roads through a lot of Northern Canada and Alaska, so I can't really complain. I wore the shoulders thin on the back tires but I can't really put that on the tires. Miser that I am I would have squeaked out my last 5,000 miles on them anyway but I was getting ready to take off on anther trip so my prudence trumped my cheapness.

My OEM Transforce HT's had 23,000 miles on them when they were replaced prior to a trip. Evenly worn down to the bars. Do have them on my 5er but they will age out before being worn out. Search carefully for tires. Many LT's have no mileage warranties. Now have Cooper HT3"s with 50,000 mile warranty.

Looks like this thread will kinda get you no where. It is like a what's your favorite beer thread. Everyone has an opinion.

Thanks for your input. This thread serves the purpose of "narrowing down the field of choices" based on real empirical experiences of RVers. It also informs me of what tires have the highest frequency of being used. As always, in America everyone gets to choose for themselves:)

I like my Firestone Transforce ATs and replaced them with the same thing.

TransForce AT on the truck and TransForce HT on the fiver. Many happy miles..

I am very happy with my Firestone Transforce HT's. I am about ready for new tires and will be sticking with the Transforce.

[Old-Biscuit]

I'm on 2nd set of Michelin AT2s

Have been VERY happy with wear, handling, traction (wet grass, gravel) OK in limited snow/ice

Have run 'heavy' on rear tires towing and nary a problem

Course........BEST depends on criteria/use and wheel size (availability)

My last tire purchase was for my 1500' went with Michellen MX2 e rated and have no real complaints. Expected better wear as 30000 miles in they were half worn.

Spent the weekend with a guy who owns a 2012 ram 3500 he used to haul campers with for two year. Had 300000 miles on his rig, ran the Firestone transforce HTs when he hauled, still had 4 on the back with 100000 miles on them. Not hauling anymore he went with the ATs on the front.

I will price the HTs and ATs when I replace my 6 tires, if it is less then 100 per tire I think I will go with the HT based on his experience. Nothing bad on the AT mind you just no miles on them yet.

We went with Michelin LT MS/2+great traction.

Just installed Yokahama Geolander HTs. Super quiet ride. Decent price crom Discount Tire

I went with Firestone Transforce HT on my dually motorhome I used to have. I plan on Firestone Transforce HT on my Dually F350 next year when I replace all six tires.

Just to be clear I vote Firestone Tansforce HT.

This is provided you want highway tires as opposed to All Terrain or Off Road tires.
