New Tires - too many options

[Merrykalia]

I know this is like asking which truck manufacturer is the best but there are so many options in tires.

We have a 2017 Ford F-350 dually and the tires are all but gone with less than 22K miles on them. It's time to buy some new ones, but we are stymied by the amazing options available.

Any suggestions for new tires that will get some wear, will get used in the mountains in the snow, not too expensive, and will offer a decent ride in this big truck?

OP. Sorry it doesn’t work like that here.

Good to know that some people see value in Michelin pickup tires. I never have. Running up and down the black highway I guess must be their market.

Gonna give Falcon Wild Peak AT a run on my '18 3500 after my Exo's dissappear. Very popular here, reviews are good online and price is good.

I just ordered a set of the Falken's. Wildpeak AT3W. We'll see how they do but they look promising. My KO2s are getting worn down too much for me to want to run them through another winter. Nice tire but they don't hold up well enough on a heavy truck. Supposedly the new DT version wear better but the Falken's were a bit cheaper and I thought I'd give them a shot.

Post a review on them when you have them long enough for an impression. I am going to Sipe my EXO's for this Winter but will be ready to replace next Fall.

OP here:

This was just a question about what kind of tires you have that have worked well on YOUR truck. There is no need to get catty (wait, this is men. What do you call catty men?)

All of this is OPINION, sometimes based on specific facts.

I'll just have to ask that it be shut down because I'm not getting any further answers, just lots of BS.

No....I run commercially, and the DOT regs state no less than 2/32nds on drives and no less than 4/32nds on steers. They were about used up...
This was on my previous truck, a 2014 RAM 3500 Tradesman Crew Cab DRW w/LT235/80R17s.

There are times you have no choice!!! I will ALWAYS buy US Made when possible or from a FREE Country.

Could have bought a Chinese made boot but NO I spend the $$$ and bought top quality US Made RedWings.

What products are made in China and nowhere else that you absolutely can't do without?

Loaded question. We could all go back to living off the land.

Not really, sitting here on their computer, wearing a shirt made in China complaining about someone buying a Chinese tire. Please you can do better then that .

Grit, true story. When I was working in forklift sales, I had a Chinese food distributor. He had a shrine to Buda and everything. In the summer the floors of his warehouse sweated and the dust on the floors turned into this black slime. One hot summer day I payed them a visit and the only place to park was in front of a dumpster, and that dumpster stunk so bad you could have sworn there was dead bodies in it.
Ever since that day I cannot eat Chinese food.:B
