Pick-up Tires = $$$$$

[Looking4new]

The past three years have seen me running around on Dunlop Mud & Snow tires. 30x9.5x15 and as far as I can see with them, I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. $1,700.oo mounted and balanced and not worth a pinch of coon dung.
I am going back to old reliable, Pro-Comp 31x10.5x15 in the fall.

Nitto Terra Grappler.
$250 per tire installed at independent repair shop.
Last 2 sets were BFG's once I rode the Nitto on pavement, and off road, I will not go back to BFG.

I've used the Michelin's for the last 20 years. All weather, 60K tires. They're great both on the road and on the farm. Very reliable, have never had a problem. That to me is worth the cost, about $900, mounted & out the door.

I have used Toyo tires on both my vehicles(pickup & Jeep) for over 30 years and had exceptional luck with them. I get them at the local Les Schwab store.

My BFG AT KO LT 265 70 17 10 Ply cost me $1,196 and have been worth every penny.

My truck is wearing the same shoes as you are running, and cost me about the same money over a year ago.

Cooper AT3 get my vote also. Put them on my Silverado.

I usually trade well before I need tires!I have purchased one set in the last 25 years or so for my wife's Subaru and traded it shortly afterword's. These new trucks with 18's,20's and 22's are going to be expensive.

I'm running Michelin LTX MS tires on my F250 diesel. 880 out the door. They have 30k on them and not near 1/2 worn. Quiet and a good ride. Not so grippy off road. The guys around here that want the best tire for wear and toughness are using Firestone Transforce. Cheaper than Michelin, and I will probably try them next. Bought Firestones for my wife's expedition, and they are great.

If you can find an independently owned local shop, that is where I get the best price and service. Here's a trick - call Michelin (or another brand) and ask them who to take a problem tire to in your area. Odds are, that's a good shop that has a good reputation in the industry and locally. My shop is small and family-owned and they are Michelin's go-to in my area.

My fix aint the cheapest up front but in the long run the best I can come up with. I constantly buy Toyo MS 55 for my pickups. I get fiftyK out of them easy and then they go on a trailer for their final miles. I even gave some to a buddy who re grooved them for another 15K. They are heavy casings, gonna suck some mileage out of your tank but they wear like iron and you will never get stuck or get a flat. Les Schwab as you must know has the exclusive on them. Rotates are free. Man, I can't think of a better tire for a 4WD in Oregon. Pricey, probably 1300 for all corners.

As if buying them with a truck attached is not.
