LT265 x 75 R16 tires recommendation.
I have a 2000 F250 that currently has BFG Rugged Terrain tires on it. They probably have less than 8,000 miles on them but seem to have excessive cracking on the sidewalls where the tread cap attaches...

Fast Mopar,
Hi Pot, from the Kettle and yes my Michelins are black. However, my truck was made IN Flint Michigan IN the USA by an American owned manufacturer unlike FCA which is Italian owned and run and who makes all their HD pickups and all the Hemi engines that are in them, in Mexico and then imported into the USA and Canada for selling and the profits go to Italy. I thank you for acknowledging and admitting what is true about FCA. Most won't!
All my other vehicles, boats, RV's engines, were also made IN the USA by an American owned manufacturer. As you can see, I truely support American owned and made! You may want to answer that for yourself!
However, my post said "for me" and did not include your name at all or even hint to such. The OP's thread IS about tires!
My tires which I put on my RV's, boat trailers, the enclosed trailer are all Carlisle and were made in the USA. How about all yours, Mister Pot? Unfortunately, I do not work nor have ever worked for or have any connections to tire manufacturers like you do but I do want, demand, and require and will also pay for the best tires for our wheeled items and as Michelin has been head and shoulders above all others we have tried! Until another tire brand proves as good or better, will still be on our trucks or whatever. What's on your trucks and/or other vehicles or wheeled items as that's your choice. Because I treasure the occupants who are in the trucks/vehicle's I own or drive, I will always choose the best available. Not even adding in the well learned fabulous long term wear and excellent traction the Michelins have given me everytime! Cost a little more is actually cheap in the long run and is my choice.
Yes, I will and always do support and purchase American made products from American owned manufacturers whenever possible and when their products give equal performance life and safety for my needs and wants. My long working life was as being an American owned and run design and engineering business and only did work for American manufacturers by choice as I'd see the owner in the mirror every day and knew exactly what he thought every minute!
Just a hint! There's a huge difference between a major purchase such as a truck and just the 4 or 6 tires under it which will need to be replaced multiple times during the life of the truck that sits on top of them!
I'm free to make my choices and you are free to make yours!
Signed, The Kettle
