Best Tires for Heavy Duty Trucks

[CO 2.0]

Hey I want all your opinions on the best tire for a 2500 HD Duramax. I want something that is a good All-terrain that does great in snow/ice but also a good highway tire. I have been using the new Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor's and I have to say that this tire slipped a lot more on ice than the Bridgestone Revo Duellers I had on my old 1500 5.3L. I wonder if it's just the low end torque of the chipped Diesel turbo that is throwing me off with getting more slip in snow/ice and not the difference between the last two tires I've had themselves... Anyone tried the Michelin LTX A/T 2? Or Pirelli Scorpion ATR's?

Diesels just plain shred tires. I like the BF Goodrich All Terain T/A seem to wear well and are great in the snow and ice. They have a natural sipe to them that helps.

Best tire IMO is the toyo MT line....they work good in everything and wear the best. On my D max I got 40000 miles on one set with lots of pulling. No other tire I have seen will go that long. BFG's AT melt off IMO.....try a set.

 

[snow_knight]

stay away from BFG's in my opinion.. unless you like putting tires on every other oil change.. ..

I personally like the toyo's, kumo's, coopers.. we have them on our work trucks (mainly d-max's).. have had really good luck with all three.. in a/t's and m/t's

Had a set of Toyo AT's on my Dodge 3/4 diesel work truck pulling a goose neck every where I go and I got 40,000 miles out of them. I put them on just before winter and they worked great. I also have a set of Cooper MT's on my Duramax and they've done real well too. The Toyo AT's wouldn't make it through another winter though... I drive 40,000 + a year.

I run the michelin LTX M/S good life and nice traction in the slop. Super nice highway ride also.

The Best tire for HD use bar none is the Michelin XPS Rib or the XPS Traction,, insane tread life and damn near impossible to blow out, just a amazing tire, I run these on my racecar trailer and all problems just go away.
I have blown coopers,marathon,carlile ect to bits and the XPS just keeps on trucking.......

I'm a big fan of the Nittos I got on my truck now. I run Mud Grapplers which is totally unnecessary for snow but kill in the mud/rocks. My wife ran Terra Grapplers on her truck and loved them until we had to sell her truck for a more "family vehicle", she's still kicking my butt for that.

My last set of BFGs seemed to wear really fast. Of course now that I drive my truck about 3-5k a year it's hard to gauge wear. Check out Nitto:

37" Toyo TA's on the BigTruck. Work great haulin and are superior in the snow!

 

[blackcat900]

toyo mt's are the way to go good traction, mileage and ride

 

[M-Max]

Goodyear silent armour.
Excellent on snow and ice. Nice and quiet on dry pavement
and have a 80000km tread warrenty.
Have them on my 95 GMC 2500 6.5 TD and on my 07 chev 3500 dmax.

 

[cat08m8]

37" toyo m/t

37/13.50/R22 is what i run on my sled hauler and they last pretty well even when running a sled bed.

 

[sledhound]

If you want tire that last and are tough as they come go look at Pro Comp tires. Will not run nothing but on my 2500 !

 

[Ausm7499]

Can't beat a Toyo M/T, they area a heavy duty tire that looks good and holds up well.

 

[Powder Nomad]

Cooper stt's

They wear kinda fast (not horrible, but not like they're a high mileage tire either), but are AWESOME in the snow/mud, IMHO...

 

[offroadmatt]

Have a set of Toyo M/T, not bad only got 20,000 miles out of them though.

 

[1M800]

Pro Comp All terrains... super traction and long life. DO NOT BFG A/T's. Good traction, but DO NOT LAST!

 

[mtn_extreme]

Another vote for TOYO'S.

My advise is avoid Kumo, wasted my dad's truck bed on his 2500HD, defective tire. Tirerack.com has good info. I like the Yokohoma GeoLanders ATs. Good traction and quieter than the BFG ATs I replaced with these.

 

[idacatman2]

yet another vote for toyo's I run the a/t's now on my new 2500 duramax, but I think the next set will be the m/t's
