TV tires

I currently run Michelin tires but have an issue getting a replacement from Discount Tire here in Phoenix. What would be a equal or better replacement tire? I only get approx 48-40K on these 70k tires. 2012 Dodge3500 DRW

At 200 miles I had MS2's installed on my 15 Dually. Tires now have about 35K and are about done. Fronts I run 80psi all the time and have rotated side to side twice keeping same rotation. Rears look better, I never rotate front to back last Dually or this.

First pic current truck, second last Dually both pics with mileage mentioned above. The drivers side tire is having chunks fall off, passenger side is ok. I am thinking BFG's for the next set but may end ups with Michelins because of warranty.

Well that is disappointing to hear about the Defenders. Chris

my last truck had Michelins and they had chunks falling off, I replaced them with BFG and had no issues. That truck was a srw, my current truck came with upgraded BFG all terrains is a DRW has 20k miles on it and I can see they aren't going to last more than 40k miles total.

I do like the traction with the BFG all terrains, not that I off road this truck but it has been in some situations towing.

I easily get 60K out of my Michelins before I buy new....not because they are worn out but because of towing FT (preemptive vs reactive)

I recently replaced my crappy Michelins (at 38,000 miles) with Toyo Open Country AT 2 in 295/65/20 size. Already have over 1,000 miles on them and am very happy with my choice.

I bought them from Discount Tires here in Reno...$1542 OTD.

What air pressures are you running in the tires.....
Front??
Rear??

Do you change rear tire pressure when towing/not towing??

Which tire---tires are wearing fast?


You don't seem to get very good mileage on ANY tires---different year vehicles :H

I need to go to Discount Tire soon as my Goodyear Wrangler All-terrain Adventure tires are wore out at 38,000 miles.

I don't think you can go wrong with Cooper or Toyo. Personally I think an AT tire is the way to go but I drive offroad and on snow/ice so a strict highway won't cut it.

4X4

[Turtle_n_Peeps]

4x2 or 4x4?
For strict hiway tires I like the Bridgestone R250 Duravis. These are a commercial tire. I got about 60K out of mine.
