Best Tire? Tricky Question I know...

[Craw]

So, 8 months of the year I am on dry/wet land here in Idaho but in Winter other than this last one it is typically snow.

I am wondering in your opinion what is the best All Season tires for our trucks?

Truck:
2013 Craw Cab Ram 1500 v8
4 x 4


Current Tire:

I am using Pirelli Scorpion 275/55 -20 at the moment. (I know suppose to be 60/65 but thats what they came with)

Looking at:

- I don't ever Tow anything but don't want a tire that takes that ability away.

-I don't speed above 90 MPH but again if I had to get away from UFOs it would be nice to have the ability lol.

- Warranty, if the company cant stand by their product I don't deal with them

- Durability at least 60,000 miles.


Leaning Toward:
(Link for showing purposes, I will do a lot of bargain hunting once I figure which tires I want)

I'd thrown in Falken at3w based on your criteria. No personal experience but have them on order.

 

[Craw]

I will look into them, thank you!

 

[Craw]

Where do you guys shop for the best tire prices?

 

[Eurocat]

personally i would shop Tirerack to get an idea, then based on brand i would contact a local shop that sells them and see if they would match the price. it's always good to be able to rely on someone local.

I run those Michelin's that you have on your list and they are excellent tires.
I have run them in the snow/ice with confidence and they are great on rain slick roads as well.
I have been known to get up around 100 mph a time or two......or three.....or more.

I highly recommend them.

America’s tire always seem to be reasonably priced. I now use their online version (discount tire) because I get it tax free. Next weekend they’ll have Presidents’ Day sales with solid rebates. I think I’ll get another $300 off my wheels/tires that I have on order.

Hands down the Michelin, have had them on 2 trucks and wife's SUV, no problem in the snow, and I ice fish


If you can't dodge it... RAM it!

I'd like to throw in a curve ball here. I ran them on my last truck and they blew me away!!! Mastercraft Courser HSX. They were quiet. It was just a 2wd Silverado but she took us through 10" of snow without fuss and I couldn't believe it. They would run 80mph on the interstate in heavy rain. The ride was good. They didn't get extreme off road but they handled back road mudd no problem. They wore good and Mastercraft is Cooper tire, so I trusted them. Unfortunately they're one of those off the beaten path tires that you just never hear about. EXCELLENT tire though.

Never had a bad Michelin. Although Im not a street tread on a truck kind of guy I would buy Michelin before a Pirelli for a truck any day. I hate those Pirelli tires. They are standard on the F-150's I sell for a living and they never last past 35-40k without some odd tread wear or noise.

If you are OK with a A/T tire that is amazing in nearly any situation and has a 60K warranty look at the Nitto G2 Terra Grappler. They will be louder than the street treads but they will let you point the truck and drive in that direction in nearly all situations.

Mastercraft is a brand made by Cooper, and those are also excellent tires.

Not going to say I know best, but I just put four new shoes on my 'Hoss on Saturday.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S with 70,000 mile warranty.
Costco has a special $70 off on four, which brings individual cost down from $226 to $209.
With fees and taxes and enviro and TPMS it was still a little north of $900, but the rest of the tire vendors in my region wanted way north of $1000 out the door for Michelins.

Better yet, free Nitrogen fill, free road hazard protection and free balance and rotate every 7K miles. But, you have to be a Costco member.

I'm very happy to be free of the Badyear Wranglers!!!

I'm JUST on my second set of the OEM Goodyear Silent Armor Pro Grade... Swapped them at about 45K (old tires still had ~30% tread...

Not cheap, but in all my years, and all my trucks, they are the best tire I've ever run.

 

[Craw]

Thank you guys awesome awesome replies! Giving me alot to think about.

On my last Ram with 20" tires that I drove for 15 years, I had Goodyear, Falken, Toyo, Yokahama, and then the Michelin LTX M/S2, which I bought thru Tirebuyer.com. I'd definitely recommend the Michelins, it was a far superior tire to all the others, excellent traction, smooth ride, no road noise, good wet weather performance ... No idea how they perform on snow.
