tires for Diesel

[MSRetrievers]

I know this has been discussed before but I am about to have to buy some new tires for my 3/4 diesel. What do you guys recommend in an AT. I don't want a mud tire. I have the Terra Grapplers now and they didn't last anytime. What say you.

I've been running goodyear Dura-Trac on my 250's. Dang good all around tire and long life with routine rotation. The only downfall to them is the price, in my opinion they are well worth the coin.

I have had good tread life with Toyo and BFG on mine....Nitto was awful

thinking about going with the Dura tracs or the Mickey Thompson ATZs.

I'm surprised to see your post on the Terra Grapplers. I got close to 45k out of mine which I thought was great. I'm running Nitto Trail Grapplers now and they have around 15k on them and seem to be doing ok rotating them every 6k miles. I will probably only get about 35k out of them and that will be pushing it.

well apparantly I wasn't the only one who thought the nitto's wore fast.
Has anyone tried the michelin LTX A/T2 or the Cooper Discoverer A/T3™

I have 40k on mine (TG's) now and should be able to get 50ish... rotate every 6-8k

When I had an f250 I ran cooper discovery a/t I put around 20,000 miles on them before I sold the truck but the tires had hardly any wear. They were 35" tires.

I had good luck with the toyo Open Country AT running the MTs now they seem to be doing ok not as good as the AT. Hankook dyna pro AT did well also but I could only find them in 17. I just find that not much does real well on a 3/4 ton especially running gravels. From the positive rears to the weight on the front end guess its just hard on them. With sets running 1200 an up makes it little more difficult these days.

that's good to hear considering they cost $1900.00.

on a side note, does the tire size make a difference in wear? I'm running 305/55's which is fairly wide tire. I figure the more rubber you have on the ground distributing the weight, the less wear you would experience

Crap should have specified better Terra Grapplers. so not 1900 more like 800ish if i remember correctly.

I have Toyo Open Country MT's (35's) and they have 30k miles on them. rotate every 5k, i will absolutley get 55-60 out of them

not very many choices in size I have now which is 307/70/17. Looks like its the nitto's terra or the BFG mud

[The Land Man]

Without a doubt the toyos are the best tire out there for a 3/4 ton truck.

[Duckimpeller]

I run the Kelly Safari TSR and will probably only run them from now on. I have 25k miles on them now and can hardly tell any wear on them.
