What Tires Should I Put on my Truck?

[Big Fin]

Resurrecting this thread since I'm shopping tires again. Did the newberg team end up liking the AT3? I'm torn between them and the duratrac. The duratrac seems a bit overkill but I'm not exactly an off road enthusiast so might need the help. Would u still like the AT3 if u couldn't use chains for some reason?

Yes, I was impressed with them. Not as aggressive as some tread designs, but did good in Utah mud and the ice in Montana and Wyoming. I am sure there is a "best tire" for each of those conditions I mention, but this one is a very good for a variety of applications, and quiet on the highway. Could do better in grainy snow, such as this time of year, but I suspect many tires could get lower grades in that crap.

I had 265 coppers a decade ago. ATV rack on,bed, 2 ATV, 28ft bumper pull behind.

Tread separated coming out of Evanston. Ripped ass end out of truck, shot tire through front of trailer, and things went real western getting her to a stop.

2 week old tires. Cooper had a recall on the 285, for tread separation, but not 265 from same plant.

Needless to say, Coppers are a sore spot with me.

I've liked my Toyo AT on my 1 ton, first set with about 10k on them, so no long term

I really liked duratracs for about 37k, but once they start to go, they go rapidly.

Hell. Fin is driving a mall crawler now. Aren't they supposed to run those 20"wide tires with 2" sidewalls? (Yes, Randy you bought a Ford. You deserve the ribbing)

Put on Duratracs. When they finally wear out, put on a new set.
