Tires for the TV

[crosscheck]

As per my signature for TV and TT, doing some gravel travel towing medium sized TT but more pavement than gravel. Use TV to shuttle mountain bikes, trail heads, rough fishing and hunting spots.

1) Anyone have good luck with Michelin A/T2 245/75 R17 LT tires? Any other brands that might work for 3 seasons(have studded snows for winter)? I am replacing the OEM General Tire Grabbers with 30,000 KM nearly worn out, down to the wear bars.

Thanks for the link to Tire Rack consumer reports. Still researching. Trying to get another month out of the present tires.

Nitto EXO Grappler, Cooper SST, and my Tire store says the AT truck tire they are selling the most of right now is the Falken Wild Peak they have a 55K mileage warranty. I have a set on an S-10 ZR2. I have had them for a year. Wearing well and good traction, have not towed with them obviously but may be something to look at.

My vote goes for BF Goodrich TA. 2nd season with them and happy with them.

Michelin’s are notoriously schitty AT tires from a traction standpoint, imo. Even the AT 2s I had.
If you value traction, get a more agressive AT tire, if not the michilube is a fine choice!
Either way, those little pizza cutters are too gadawful small! At least get some 285s so your truck can be proud of itself! Lol jk

Hankook Dynapro ATMs? I put some on my 2500 and they ride nice and are quiet. The shop owner that I bought them at has the same truck as I do and got 70k miles out of them. You won’t get that running gravel but they should last a bit.

At work we run Hankooks Duratracs and BFG ATs and they all wear fast from the abrasive sand and rocks.

Ran them on my trailer for 6 years with no problems. Put Yokahamas on my truck and really liked them for the quiet ride. For a bit lower cost option you might check out BF Goodrich Commerical TAs also.
