I ran a set on my Dodge truck after 3 sets of Michilens. Never again.

Thanks for all the input folks. I think I'll go with them.

My 2103 GMC 2500HD came with Transforce HT and now have Transforce AT tires on them. I have got good service from both sets.

I have been running HT Transforce tires for over 10 years. Good service , good wet and dry traction. Firestone troubles were compounded by poor maintenance of proper pressure in tires for vehicles they were installed on.

Running a pair on the front of a RAM 3500 dually. Like them so far.

I like 'em. Replaced the OEM Bridgestone Duelers w/ them a couple of years ago, which didn't last 30K miles. Just passed 30K w/ these and still have plenty of tread. With my truck, rotation discipline is key.

My new Ram CTD came with the Transforce HT tires. They seem to be your typical highway tread. Seem to work fine but don't know how long they'll last. Only have about 16K on them.

I hope they are good just put 4 on the rear of motorhome to replace those with splitting at the beads near the wheel lip. I was torn between the Firestone ht and the Bridgestone, I will report back after some miles and time. I will not wear them out mileage wise as I never do but I hope I am still around to replace them due to time,LOL. All the reviews I read were good and bad you just have to look thru the smoke.

The bad legacy is just that, a past tense matter well over a decade ago... Firestone’s reputation was seriously at stake (now owned by Bridgestone), so they overly compensated by building this uber robust tire - on their website the AT’s are classified as light-duty/commercial, the only tire I shopped that referenced ‘commercial’...As far as longivity goes, I’ve experienced no mileage difference between their AT’s and Generals or Michilens - about 40k miles without any difficulty... My seasoned experience (now on second set) is that you will not be disappointed....

I look at tires as consumables. I wear them out and put on new ones. It perpetuates the industry and keeps the containers rolling in, in as much as a good percentage of domestically sold tires are made offshore.

We are on our second set of 'Stone HTs. The first were largely pulled off because of age and changing from 16.5 to 16 for availability. They rode and served well. I have no complaints about the tires.

Actually right now the rears on my F250 are Firestone Winterforce tires. Yes, 2 wheel drive truck, and I put dedicated snow tires on in the winter.

I actually run Winterforce year around on my other pickup truck. Great tires for off road amd they wear well too. A bit noisy but not too irritating. All 4 wheels, 4wd.
