Which LT tires have you been happy with?

I upgraded to 16" LT tires coming up on 7 years ago. They're 225/75/16 BFG Commercial T/A.

They've performed well and I'll probably end up with another set. I will also consider other options.

Having searched the forums,I've found a ton of discussion about switching to LTs but not much concerning brands.

What brand or models have you been happy with?
2011 Chevrolet 2500HD LTZ 4x4 CCLB Duramax/Allison
2007 Keystone Cougar 289BHS Fifth Wheel.

I ran the same tires you have on our last 5er. If they had the weight ratings I needed I'd have them on the current.
I would say that if you got 7 years of great service out of the last pair, might as well go ahead and purchase the same thing again.

An alternative to the Ribs is the Bridgestone Duravis R250. Nearly identical to the Rib but considerably cheaper. People report good results with them; some who previously had Ribs and decided they didn't want to pay Michelin's prices. 🙂

I run the TA's. All 4 were replaced under the BFG recall. Since then I have not had a single tire complaint.

Not to me I would not have any problem with it but others may not agree.

So did I on our Laredo. Our new Montana has Goodyear 614's on it and I really like those so far with about 5k miles on them.
