New tire time, can't decide which ones

[Mudman]

So far running these goodyear ultra I have few thoughts.  Half ton tire imop.  Lots of good, wet traction is good.  Dry good, quiet.  Handles light.  Towing with diesel heavy they suck.  Squishy tread or sidewalls.  I do not like em when towing.  Running empty I notice slight softness in corners but with any weight it bad.  I had nittos before and didn't like em much but they were solid and not soft. Handled fine towing.  Towing coming from Yakima over 12 with about 8000lb toy hauler I slowed to 45mph Naches up to white pass.  Ruts and corners made it dangerous over 55mph.  Ruts really tossed me around more than normal.  I made same trip last year with old tires and not even comparable between the two.  Its a bad road yes but jeez.  I hope this helps others to avoid these tires for heavy trucks..

We had two sets of Falken tires on my wifes Mazda 3 in the last 3 years, I don't remember which model exactly but it the Falken line up it was considered "best" tire. The tires were rated for 60k miles, first set got 22k miles, we got those warrantied and the replacement set got less than 12k miles. I will never buy another Falken tire.

The tread wore out after 12k? Blowout? Cupping? Please explain what you mean when you say you only got 12k miles out of them.

Tread was gone, below serviceable limit. My wife was complaining of lots of road noise. I checked the tread and it was almost gone, I took it right to the tire shop. Just under 12k on them, and like I said that was the replacement set. He gave about 85% of my money back.

I wonder if the truck tires would have a different rubber in them?  That's not good to hear either way.

I’ve have the Falken ATW3 on my F150 for about 16k.
I bought LT tires because the size I wanted wasn’t available in P.
The tires are excellent.
No sign of wear, even after a bunch of driving on basalt.
Quiet and smooth, especially for an LT.
I run 42PSI and air down when I’m going into the mountains.
Great tire and great reviews.

I wish sidewall on Duratracs was bit thicker but traction, ride, mileage on half ton so good I keep running them as commuter / woods use.  150k miles on 4 sets.

That is only 37k average per set?

Yea I change at 40k.  Could go another 10k  but don’t go into fall with 50% tread.

I put a set of Faulken Wildpeak AT3s on my son's Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.  Hasn't seen much dirt, but in 25k they still look new.

Old post, now I'm in the market for new tires. I had a flat on Friday with OEM Goodyear's with 55K still god tread left but I ran  the flat one to long. So I'm into looking at replacing all 4 but I'm having issues with finding 18" tires. I'm looking for LT235/70R18 the best I've found is $1,050 out the door. I'm retired I really don't have that amount of cash on hand. I want to stay under about $800. Coorper/General have been my go to tire with Generals being the best on 1500 trucks. What's the HWA suggestions?

Find the tires you want on line. Find the best price you can. Call discount tire and they will price match. Apply for their card and get $50 off. Plus they usually have another rebate of $40-$50 I run 18s on my truck but they are 275s. Hancook dynapro at2. Smoothest quitest at tire Ive ever had. Love them so far with about 5000 miles on them. You may have to change your width and aspect ratio a little bit to get a better selection of tires but you should be able to stay pretty close to what you have. Call them and ask what they have or can get. You may be surprised. Ive been dealing with Pablo at the Lacey store and he has been fantastic to work with.
