What Tire Do You Prefer?

[SilverStreak88]

Let's see what everyone is running/has run. On a scale of 1-10, 1 = worst, 10 = best. Just copy and paste the below into your post for rating. This thread could get long if it takes off, but if we keep it organized (like 1 brand/model per post) then folks can "search this thread" by brand/model to better learn and make decisions on a certain tire.

I'd say this is pretty accurate to my experience with them. Maybe bump ride comfort down to a 8 cause they're a lil bouncy but they are a 10 ply so that's knit picking a lil bit.

In all honesty that was the first M/T I ever ran and I got nearly 55K out of that set, I was amazed, but I - either didn't notice or didn't have the bounce that you speak of, the Terras on the other hand, long story...

this can't be accurately assessed.hd rams with ctd power don't wear out tires like a 1500.m/t tires wear quicker than a/t's and are 2 vastly different applications.there's waaay too many variables. if you carry a camper,off road,rock crawl,sand/desert explore.heck,even the mud differs from one region to the next. even lifted and tuned will make a huge difference from one truck to the next.it's even different to each persons driving style.granny or hemi foot.

******** I wish I could get 55k miles out of a set of tires lol
I've put 50k miles on mine an have put 3 sets of tires an a used set

Agreed, it will not cover for "everyone" in "every" area, but majority it will. Just put a notation at the bottom that says poor treadwear because I can't keep my foot out of it, etc... Anyway, it's not going to "be" 100% accurate, but more of a generalization of what people are seeing with a certain tire and how they rate it.

Since these are the only tires that have been worth the **** that I've owned. Got about 12k miles on them. Will prob get another 12k or so. I'd be happy, I do take some turns pretty hard. I plan to get a different tire when the time comes

Yea like I said I'm knit picking bumping that number down. I love them and they do ride good, especially for a m/t. I've got 30k miles on them now and still got quarter tread yet. Def the best m/t I've ever owned. I've had the **** cepek mud country's, they had good traction but wore down super fast. Firestone destinations mt, they wore and worked great but were a lil noisy and bouncy. Goodyear wrangler mtr with Kevlar, they worked incredible and lasted long, rode decent but were way loud on the road. So I'd get the trail grapplers again or try the stt pros next after they get some more reviews.

I would agree with this for these tires. The winter traction was fine as long as I had some weight in the bed. They seemed to wear fast at first, but I just sold the truck with 50,000 miles on the tires, and they still had at least 25% life left.
