Time for truck tires.

I have a 2008 GMC 3500 DRW and it's time for new tires. Currently running Firestone, purchased in 2014 and have had zero problems except for traction, my gravel driveway seems to chew them up.

The tires are LT225/75R17/E.

Looking for a good all terrain tire that's not too aggressive to hurt highway ride and is quiet.

Any ideas?

You should get round ones! Or read the other 1000 “What tires are best for me and my truck?” threads.
I’ll summarize though. If you have grand children, get Michelin’s or Bridgestones. If you wear a flat brim hat and have a Carolina squat suspension, get Mickey Thompson’s or
Patriot tires from the Diesel Brothers show.
If you’re somewhere in between, you’re allowed to buy any tires but those 4 brands!

Just bought a set of Michelins for my truck. So far, very nice. Was headed for an appointment to have them mounted, and a sign at the dealership said a sale was starting in two days offering four for the price of three. I waited.

Cooper or Toyo tires work well and last longer than 50,000 miles.

Cooper Discoverer AT3. Good traction, designed not to hold gravel, not sure on that, but saw that on their webpage.

I just started my second set, and was really pleased with the first set

Yeah I'll second the Goodyear All Terrain but I think I had AT/2. Got good mileage, they are quiet and we went all over the place on backcountry and 4WD roads with them. Wish I still had them.
