Next tires are gonna be............
either Cooper ST Maxx.....or the bragged about Falkin WP3's Wife has those Coopers on her F150. Load range E as well. Gotta rotate them often. They roar a bit too, going down the road.  She's got 27k miles on that pickup and they are still pretty beefy, tread-wise.

...I was pretty disappointed in my Michelin AT2's... Got 30k out of them.. They were getting thin. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/U2q7DLc.jpg) I just ordered a pair of 265/70r16 Cooper Discoverer AT3's to replace the Michelin AT2's on the front of my Tundra 4x4. At 20,000 miles they were getting thin on the outside edges, like yours. And they felt like they were cupping. The rears still look great, with lots of miles left to go. I never rotated them, so it's my fault they wore prematurely.

I was thinking about those as well, diggers!
But heard they wear fast and are spendy.
Would love to get a set on a gumbo feed pickup.
Tikka, early this summer we bought a used F350 and it came with a set of nearly new Falken AT3's.
Haven't super tortured them yet but so far so good.

The question is: WHERE ARE KELLY TIRES NOW BEING MADE?
If China don't by them.

Running Kelley tires on a freightliner running local 3-400 miles a day 5 days a week and they are holding up fine. Different tires I know but they are holding up fine for several trucks around here.

If China don't by them. Pretty sure Made in the USA. No fuucking way I would buy Chinese tires. Tikka, that looks like a cool spot. We've been dragging around stock trailers for the last week. Spun all the way to the top of a hill Thursday morning. It warmed up, dried off and the getting around has become way easier. Fan, good report, thanks.

I’ve heard the same, but I have 2 sets of wheels for the truck. I keep all terrains on there all summer. Most of the day to day stuff I’m driving the work truck anyway.

I put Cooper Discover AT3 4/S's on my Silverdo (half ton) this summer. They were great at first but now I have a heck of a roar going down the road. I've had these tires on other pick ups and never noticed any noise, I'm a little disappointed.

Ended up putting the BF Goodrich T/A's all around my dually the other day. I like the low noise on the highway, and the thicker sidewalls. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Cr3mBuO.jpg) I put a set of these one my Duramax 3500 work truck and was pretty disappointed. They didn’t last 25,000 miles. Wore fast and got progressively louder as time went on. I was pretty disappointed in my Michelin AT2's... Got 30k out of them.. They were getting thin. Same on my Dually. Michelin Primacy XC’S. Fronts wore out at 35,000. Rears look damn good still though. Shop said I have so much weight in the utility bed it causes the fronts to wear? Who knows. Either way, bought a set for the front and figure they’ll last til the rears are worn and I’ll switch to Toyo’s?

Several top global brands such as Michelin (two production plants), Bridgestone (six plants), Goodyear (two plants), Continental (two plants), Pirelli (two plants), Yokohama (three plants), Hankook (four plants), and Kumho (three plants) are present in China through their manufacturing units.
