The factory tires on my Tundra are getting close to worn out. They're P-metric tires. Looking at tires I see P-metric, metric and LT tires. This is a 2wd truck which sees some dirt roads but not a lot and nothing difficult. Which type should I go with?

The factory Bridgestone Dueler H/Ts are terrible. They're down to 5/32 or 4/32 after only 16k miles and have poor traction in the wet. Right now I'm leaning towards metric. The LTs in the same nominal size are different enough diameter that I'd need to buy one for the spare, and they seem heavier duty than I need.

Something to remember. Factory tires are called round black things. That is because the car manufacturers push for cheap prices from the tire manufacturers this they build a cheaper tire because they get to sell millions of them. This is really noticeable in motorcycle tires. I personally think is is a bad idea because it ruins the name with the buyer just as Bridgestone has with you

Had both Cooper Discoverer and replaced with Michelin LTX on my Tundra when I had it; found traction about equal but the Michelin's produced a little harsher ride

I prefer BF Goodrich KO2.
Had them on my last truck and I'm waiting impatiently for my Michelin's to wear out enough that I can get rid of them.
Good information here: https://comparethetire.com/bfgoodrich-ko2-vs-general-grabber-atx/

They are not cheap!

Just put my second set on my 2011 Ram 1500, but also ran them on a Dakota with good luck.

I had nothing but flat tires while driving on chip and seal roads due to the little flat rocks puncturing the tires, while using passenger tires and then when used on a truck and was using the A/T tires had nothing but cupping issues. Never had cupping issues with other tires when used on the same vehicle. I won't touch a Cooper again.

One other note when I had my welding company in Canada I did a lot of work for Costco and the manager of a store told me their top of the line Kirkland tires are Michelin. My F350 portables were heavy and I started buying their tires and loved them.

Mig welding is your best choice for that. Tig is mainly for Aluminum and stainless steel and other alloys
