Gonna vote that you revisit the Nittos...
I have a 2009 QC 1500 SLT, 204k. My commute is about 60 miles a day. Tire size 275/60/20. Last 3 sets of tires have been the cooper discoverer at3, and not happy with how the last set wore out. I considered the at3-s, and can get installed for about $800. Considered BFG T/A on discount tire direct, and best price I saw was around 915. Ruled out the nittos and the falkens. Started looking at Goodyear duratracs, and after rebates and promos they would be close to $700. Having trouble pulling the trigger, since this is a high mileage truck and I am hoping to use it less than a daily driver. Hoping to get another 50-75k on it. Anyone want to chime in? I dont plow, occasionally may have a load of wood or furniture, and only tow a popup or small trailer. I live in CT, so snow and ice.
Thanks
yup, Ridge Grappler FTW
No way on the Nitto Ridge Grappler if you commuting, way too aggressive, and not smooth!
If you really want a good tire, you gonna have to spend the cash. Take a look a the general ATX, a quality tire built in the USA
I just installed Continental TerrainContact A/Ts on my 3500 SRW. Initially, very good- very little if any road noise, slightly more forgiving than the Firestone Transforce tires that came on the truck. Still waiting on my $100.00 rebate from Continental. Promo ends on 8/31. Were just over $1000.00; to me, worth the money. Really good warranty from Continental. Read about a lot of tires before making my decision.

I have the cooper at3 xlt and I had the previous generation of them before I got abot 69000 out of them but you have to be religious about rotating tiers and if your highway driving it may benefit you to buy a summer tire and winter tire you can pick up stock rim and tire combo for under 1000 on the used market
I see that you live in Alberta does AT tires work well as snow tires. I haven’t really done a winter with the stock Goodyear’s.why did you rule out nittos and falkens?
