Truck Tires

[jgrimes]

I've worn out my LT265-70-17 BFG Rugged Trail TAs. I've read numerous bad reviews on the current production of BFG. My tire guy recommends Cooper Discoverers A/T3/ Also big on Yokohoma Geolanders. Any body have experience with these? Insights?

personal preferences (where you drive, how you drive, what you drive, etc) plays

Yokohama Geolanders are 'soft' and won't get the miles a 'harder' compounded tire
will.

They do stick better, has better ride quality and cold weather performance.

I have a set of 33/12.5R15LT load range C's on my C10 Silverado's alloys. Fine
for my half ton truck but would NOT like them on my Suburban

Used to be a Michelin fan, but no longer after they reformulated their rubber
compound. Okay on cars, but am noticing an all too similar side wall cracking on
family's car tires

My Mini Van bought used, cam with Michelin's and they had started to crack on
the sidewalls.

Now have Falken (rear) and Cooper (front). Cooper's front because the Falkens
are very soft and I drive extremely hard. So the fronts wore out the outside
ribs, even though pump them up to max sidewall

The Coopers have a harder compound, but they too are wearing the outer rib...just
not as fast

Have had BFG, Michelin, Firestone (OEM on both C10 and Sub), Timerline (Dayton
and owned by Yokohama), Dayton and some forgot about.

Currently VERY happy with Bridgestone Dueler Revo's on the Sub. Thought they were
a bit 'soft', but they cured really quickly. Still on the soft side, but am
very happy with the way they are wearing (I get all my vehicles sideways
often...meaning I drive very hard)
