 truck tires |
 |
Any recommendations for a good all around/all weather/good for towing/good for mileage etc, truck tire?
What I've got now was made for SUV's... zero traction in the wet, and just not good for towing... looking to upgrade.

Michelins, for sure. I replaced the original Michelins on my truck after 80K and immediately lost two miles per gallon and after 30K, they will need to be replace in another 10K. Will be buying Michelins next time. They cost a little more but cheaper in the long run.

Have had really good luck with Kumho Road Venture AT KL78 or Road Venture SAT KL61. The 78 is almost identical to the Goodyear Wranglers. Durable good longevity and not noisey. Just my $.02.

Come on Tim, if it was a set of race tires you wouldn't think twice.

That's sad but true, isn't it!! Just goes to show that I put the needs of my kids before mine!!
Thanks for all the advice from everyone. I've been shopping around for all of the above! Will let you know what I come up with!
