Currently has 275/70/18 Firestone Transforce AT and they have not worn well at all. About shot at 33k miles. I found some Cooper AT3 for a good price. What tires are you guys running on you HD trucks?

Toyota Open County 285/70-17
They are wearing pretty good. Think I might get 45-50 out of them.

I had a 14 and the factory Transforce tires were scary in the wet after about 20K miles. Switched over to Michelins and while they wore faster than I thought they should the tread wear warranty helped a lot. Traction was much better than the Firestones.

I run BF Goodrich Mud Terrains on my GMC 2500HD. I love these tires for snow, mud, whatever and they fit the rugged/sporty look of my truck. They are LT285/75/17D. I have a 2.5" levelling kit and had to trim the inner fenders some to not rub. I have a winter set on stock rims and a summer set on chrome so it's hard to estimate milage, but I honestly don't care what it is. I really like these tires.

Nitto Terra Grapplers on my F250. Currently on my second set with 37k and should get between 50-60k. I have enjoyed the tires but will likely shop for a highway style tire next time. I do mostly mixed 2 lane highway / interstate driving 50 miles a day.

I have the Cooper AT3's on my 2500 and am very happy with them. Much better wet traction. Only have 10,000 miles on them, but still look new.

Any input on mastercraft courser at? I see cooper makes them.

BF Goodrich all terrains. I mounted two sets on my F250 and now I’m on my 2nd set on a F350. I’ve always gotten 65-70k out of them

Can't speak for your size, but very happy with M'Craft Courser ATs on '99 K-2500 in 275/75/16E. (no dealer near here will put LR Ds on 8-lug rims or '2500's)

IMHO: winter traction 5/5, ride 5/5, road noise 5/5. Tread looks fresh/deep after 12,000 mi. Biggest and smallest dealers in our region quoted set price within a handful of dollars. (I went with a chain store that lied about wheel offset and wouldn't take 'em back when I offered a 20% restocking fee. :eek:)

My last (second) set of four ended up costing me`$1300 US (did I mention why?:rolleyes:) so I can't say much about 'for the money', but without looking elsewhere I'd buy 'em thrice.

Always heard good about BFG Mud Terrains, but no try yet. They'd be my pick among 'majors' .. (over Goodyear.)

I have cooper discoverer AT3's on my 2500 4x4. its a great tire, wearing nicely at 20,000 miles so far. I like cooper tires. I had the stt pro on previously, but they wore pretty quick. 40k and they were done. but I loved the way they handle. I might go back to them again. lol
