Tow vehicle tires

So, for those of you that have replaced factory tires; what tires did you use as a replacement?

I just replaced my BF Goodrich with the same after about 30,000 miles. Wondering about opinions of others... :|

I went with Michelins, they ride nice and quiet.

I had Dunlop discoverer A/T pretty nice now I have the Uniroyal Liberators from Walmart with road hazord. I mainly went with them since I can get them fixed if any problems at any Walmart and camping and traveling I thought that would be a nice perk

Shooter,

Are the Michelins the ATX model? I was thinking about those for the next set.

My brother gave (bought) me a set of Dunlop Radial Rover from his shop. They are crap. I can't wait to replace them and do the longest burn out before taking them off. My last set prior to them and after the factory set was Bridgestone Revo 265/75r16E A/Ts. I loved those tires. Rode good, quiet, no vibration at 40mph)

The Michilin LTX is a fantastic tire. I have been running it on my company truck for years (40k miles year) and am also running it on my personal truck. It is strong and quiet. They sell them at Sams.

I'm also running the Michelin LTX M/S

I replace the OE Goodyear's with Michelin LTX's. The Michelin's aren't showing half the wear that the Goodyear's did at about the same mileage.

Just ponied up $900 clams tonight for a new set of Goodyear Wranglers prograde with silent armour. I will get the truck back in the morning and will post after some test driving. I have heard good reviews and anything has to be better than the OE conintental contitrac's that I am replacing. Wife has a set of michelin's 18's on her navigator and she has 60,000 on those without complaint.

Yes, mine are the LTX-A/S tires.

mich LTXs here also, and when the day comes that I wear them out , there will be another set on them.

http://tirerack.com has a good reader feedback / review graph to look at of all brands.

Cooper SLT's for now, next set I am going back to Cooper ST's. The SLT's have never felt right to me and the truck likes to wander. They are holding up great and should make the trip out west just fine.

Dave:

I put on the LTX and am very happy with them. If you want to see them let me know as I go by Channel 2 about 10x a day.

I just checked Tire Rack price and I paid (including mounting) same at Big O - after beating them up a bit.

I run studded Coopers in the winter on my company truck, great tire. I have a set for my truck, but don't use them much (fair weather camper).

Michelin LTX M/S. I couldn't wear any tread off the Goodyears or Dunlops before they developed goose eggs on them. I suggested to the dealers that it must be due to the weight of the 7.3 and the overhang from my truck camper but they didn't agree. Bought the Dunlops because they were cheaper than the Michelins and they used to make a good motorcycle tire, but it turned out to be a mistake. I have never had a problem with Michelins. Michelins on all my vehicles except the Wing and the Wildcat. They don't make motorcycle tires and I'm going to try to go with the Michelin XPS Rib 225/75R16 on the Cat when funds allow and if they will fit. I have run those rib tires on livestock and equipment trailers for many years and they have been great tires carrying much heavier loads than the Cat. Also will be doing whatever possible to get rid of those questionable valve stems that come on the Wildcats or at least came on mine.
