Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire truck tires

need some new tires on our 2013 chevy 2500HD 4x4 Duramax. Size 265-60-20" AT E load.

Looked at:
Hercules terra trac
Mitchlin LTX
Cooper AT3
Faulkin wildpeak
Yokohoma geolander
Nexum Roadian
BF Goodrich AT
General grabber
toyo open country

driving will be highway/gravel road/some off road checking fields/and hauling goose neck trailers.

What you guys using and recommand.

I had two sets of the Michelin LTX M/S load range E on my Excursion for 175,000 miles. Just switched to the LTX Defender, also in load range E. I honestly didn't think there was a better tire for a heavy truck than the old LTX M/S. After 1000 miles on the new tires, I have to say that they are better in every way from the old LTX M/S. They ride smoother and they track better on a larger truck. Highly recommended.

Michelins LTX AT2 on my dually diesel service truck, wife’s landcruiser and an F150 spare truck. Zero complaints. My service truck eats tires for lunch, the Michelins last way longer than anything else I’ve ran.

Tacoma I run to the cabin, mountains and fishing wears Toyo MT’s. Best off road tire I’ve ran.

Grabbers are dogscheit.

BFG AT’s always gave me good service on my Tacoma but couldn’t get the size I run, 235/85R16.

I can recommend NOT the Falken Wildpeak.

I have Cooper ATs on my power stroke and haven’t had an issue but I don’t drive it too much. When I do though it is often on dirt roads with a stock trailer. They seem to hold up well to the torque and weight that a diesel puts onto tires. Load Range E at a minimum I may add…

B. My Ford has had two of the tires listed. From the factory it came with the Toyo Open Countrys in 275 65 R-20. Ran them 40k and still had decent tread but replaced them with the onset of winter. They were replaced with BFG K02s in 285 65 R-20s. I like the BFGs a little better in both mud and snow but both brands were relatively quiet. I've got 25k on the BFGs and they may be wearing a little faster than the Toyos but I think it's worth it for better off road grip.

Toyo makes Nittos...

Both are very good.

Nokian Rockproof are great, but too aggressive for your stated needs. I like Nokian as much as Michelin.

Cooper and Goodyear out for me.

I have the Coopers on my Tundra and the Toyo on my T100

The Toyo's are quieter, I've have to put alot of effort into getting the Coopers to give me a good ride but they were also cheaper by quite a bit

I’m using the Firestone Destinations A/T2 on the 4Runner, Have the Destinations A/T’s on the Ranger. A/T2’s are much quieter.

No complaint from me on either tire, semi off-road use, more highway than anything.

I have had 3 complete sets of BFG KO2 on my 1 ton dually, in the bush putting 1 1/2 cord of wood on it in some nasty places everyday....never had a flat. I get 2 years out of them.

Goodyear bought Cooper in Feb 2021.

Goodyear is PURE CRAP.

^^^This^^^

I’m still running a set of the old original LTX M/S on Dad’s old 92 Chevy 3/4 ton Ranch Truck. They’re also E load range versions.

They’ve got AT LEAST 75.000 miles on them now.
Still have tread left. And never had a flat tire on any of them. And I run over a lot of mesquite thorns and prickly pear cactus in the pasture, too.

I’ll have to give the Defender’s a try when I replace them.

Damnit.

i hate goodyear

Don't buy price point tires at the big box stores. example : COSTCO & Michelins.

I have Cooper Rugged Trek on my truck and I like them a lot. You can’t even tell they’re worn and I have about 18k on them.

They are great for sure... ALL MICHELINS.

BUT... use them alot... or expect dry rot in 5 years (+/-). Hard rubber.

JUST an opinion.

I run 5 2500/3500 diesel pickups high mileage.

We run only Toyo Open County tires. Can’t go wrong with them

I just ordered new tires for my Nissan. No need for off road tires, mud, snow tires, or tires to carry a load. I want a smooth quiet ride, along with a tire that will last. I ran a set of Kuhmo's and really liked them. Current set is Ironman and they've lasted 59,000 miles, but always road rough.

Total cost for 4 Kuhmo P265/75R16's will be just under $700 and they are 60,000 miles tires.

I have had Grabbers and got good service from them. Same with the Cooper AT3.

Now have the KO2, I like them too. Nice ride, but they are C range.

I have had the best success with Michelins and Continentals.
