Wow, the best **** tires I have ever had that came OEM on a new vehicle which finally need replacing after about 40K in 3 years. This one is gonna hurt. Free shipping indeed LOL.

40K is outstanding for a tire with an on/off road tread pattern almost only driven on western/central PA's mountains and curving secondary roads. I have had plenty of Michelins, Firestones, and some other brands that were lucky to go 30K. Goodyear the worst....20K.

Some nosepicker at the tire store will probably take the old ones and run them, because I dont wait until they're down to 1/16" of tread so I can slide around this winter. I could probably get another 10K+ if I wanted to push it.

I really like the Duravis, but like Grit said no tire is worth that price. I talked myself out of them. I also really like Pittsburgh Rare Ribeyes.

Mmmmmmm! Ribeye....droooool!

Which model Firestones? The OEM Firestone H/Ts that came on my Ram were the fastest wearing tires I've ever owned. The were shot at 27,000 miles. They might make some decent tires, but the H/Ts are not one of them.

Interesting, I have the HT’s in the 18” on my Ram with 35,000 miles. Based on current wear, I can see getting another 20,000 on them. I’ve not heard good things on the AT’s however.

IMO, there isn't a LT 265-70-17 tire made that's worth anywhere near that much $. They are dime a dozen for about $100 a pop for takeoffs (if you are near a city) or under $200 for pretty much any other brnad/style unless you get into expensive mudders. Even Toyo ATs can be had for under $200 in load ranger 121.
Food for thought, maybe you can eat steak next week AND ave new tires!

Ramen noodles are cheaper than beans and they don't make you pass gas. Just sayin.............................

Try having to buy 6. It will make your sphincter clinch. My last set of Toyo Open Country cost $1,800.

I run Toyo HT on my truck and trailer
Truck LT265/70/17
Trailer LT245/75/16
Quit and a great ride

I am surprised more are not looking into the Sailun Terramax AT. Anyone that knows about the Sailun S637 trailer tire knows the quality of the Sailuns. The price like the S637 is very reasonable compared to the name brands. They are just half the price in your size that you are paying for those Bridgestones . 507.96 free shipping from Simpletire

It will sure be my next truck tire, friend just put a set on, and said so far they are performing well. Very quiet running , which is my concern . No desire for howling tires .

The beans grown in the USA are first rate. Wish I could afford them.

Michelin makes their Defender LT in 115T with a Max Load of 2679@44 and their Defender LT in 121R with a max load of Max Load of 3195@80. $205 and $222 at Sams.

Bridgestone Duravis M700 Radial Tire - 265/70R17 121Q $240 @ Amazon

I've been very lucky with my Goodrich Rugged Trail TA's that cam OEM on my 2014 F150 with HD Pkg. It now has 64K miles with at least 1/2 towing, including a recently concluded 8900 mile trip out to the Rockies.

The tires still have good tread, and is evenly worn from shoulder to shoulder.

Next summer they will be 5 years old, and I'm starting to think I may replace them at that time.

Don't know if it matters much, but they've always been rotated every 5K or 10k miles, and I've always aired them up to Ford recommended 55# psi in front and 60# psi in rear.

Bad news Dad, you better be buying them up because they are no longer available. I cried for two days when I found out. They were OE on my 2005 Ram 2500 and I took them off with 75,000 miles on them with still good tread on them. (I was worried about their age) I give them to my daughter to run on an old truck they had and they probably put another 10-15,000 on them before they were done. I have run many sets of them on many different trucks and I always got great wear and mileage out of them.
