I want tires with solid outer tread bar to help eliminate feathering. I want quiet and most of all I want them to last a long time.
when its time, I may look into the cooper discoverer HT3 (50K mile tread wear warranty)
But my new truck is 2wd, dually with cast/polished wheels that I can't rotate. fronts always wear faster, so I think once its time for front tires, I will buy 4 for the rear than I have 2 pair to install on front as time goes by
IMO you won't like the solid rib tire like the XPS Rib or better yet cost wise the Bridgestone R-250 as it has no tread lugs for traction in green grass or a muddy campsite or winter driving on snow pack or slush. A empty 2wd DRW needs all the help it can get under those circumstances.
The Cooper HT-3 or similar tread would be a perfect choice with its two solid outside ribs and a all season type tread in the center for a bit of traction. Cooper recommends this tire for commercial service.
