Wheels and Shoes

[PCT]

I was thinking of getting new wheels when my tires wear down. Never thought i would, but kinda like the Steeled holes rims. Is Vision a good brand? What do yall recommend?

Also i have Duratracs. they have about 45% left. I like them, they have done good everytime i have gone up to the snow to go skiing. But They are heavy, and have dropped my MPG about 1-2 mpg. I was thinking of getting something little less agressive. Im 85 concrete 15 dirt, snow, rocks, mud. (going on backroads to go shooting, hunting, skiing. I was looking at the new Goodyears

Or Cooper Discoverer AT-3 LT

I run the Cooper tires in the winter and I think they are a great all around tire. I would say that the weight of the tire would effect gas mileage more than whether they are MT or AT

Not sure what rims you have now, but I would think the steel/metal rims are heavier than aluminum.
I could be way off though!

I guess those goodyear ultraterrains are heavier than Duratracs 54 DT 56 UT

The tires you mentioned would work wonderful for you in my opinion. Also, check out the falken at3w as well.

I went from the stock 285/70/17 duratracs on my power wagon to a set of 35x12.5/17 falken wildpeak at3w. The tires are not only a few inches taller, but they are over 20 pounds heavier a piece (duratracs 54 pounds, at3w’s 75.4 pounds!).

In my experience, they have not killed any mpg’s for some reason. They are a 3 peak snow rated tire, perform great in just about all areas (mud not so much), much quieter and smoother than the duratrac, and now at 7000ish miles I cant even see any signs of wear yet.

Stock size Falken Wildpeak AT3’s are only 6lbs heavier than OEM and snow rated. If you go a size wider or taller you’ll jump into more ply’s and lose MPG again. They ride just like OEM if you want to retain that feel and look awesome. I love mine. I have about 25k miles on them with plenty of tread for another 30k, but I’ll likely buy another set around 20-25k miles since I don’t like to push the limits.

Yep. Tire performance greatly diminishes with age and wear. I prefer to sell my tires at half tread or better. Still get decent money toward the next set, and always on a new to newish set of tires.

Worn tires suck!

No tire I've ever owned outlived the warranty. I always get my new tire cost prorated from the previous tires warranty. More often than not, you can get a decent discount on the new tires. This is especially true on HD trucks as they eat tires.
