I can't relate to the diesel part, but the best tires I've ever run on my Tundra crewmax are Cooper Discoverer ST MAXX's.  They're a good all around tire not being too loud on dry pavement and when on compact snow and ice they just grip.  I'm about due for another set, I have 62k on my current set that will last me through summer.

Yup great tires. Best part is . Made in USA

Our moose guide runs around on Firestone Destination MT2, he’s tried several different tires and nothing beats them on the snow/ice in his opinion. I couldn’t believe how good he did when we were bombing around in ne Washington in Nov .  I’m not a Firestone fan at all, but, those tires kicked azz in that deep snow!

I will probably go with the General Grabber ATX UNstudded for my non winter tire as well as the studded winter set, provided nothing changes my opinion of them.

For what it is worth I put a set of these on last summer.  Had a heck of a time getting 4 "round" ones.  Be super diligent with whoever mounts them.  Remember, balanced is different than round.

Thats where road force balancing is nice!

I agree it helps but it won't make a square into a circle.  That said, I have10 ply tires on a light truck which doesn't help.  Toyo AT3's for me next time.

What I was getting at is that is how to find good round tires.
LS had to replace 6 of the 4 tires on my wifes car a few years ago because they couldnt get rid of the vibration because of out of round. Finally had them put some Michelens on. Perfect immediately.

I’ll 3rd the st maxx
I don’t get anywhere near 60 k on them but 1ton diesel trucks aren’t easy on tires
Great all weather tire, and a bonus that they are a good looking tire as well

What is the difference about running tires on a diesel as opposed to a gas rig?   :dunno:

Weight of the diesel engine makes a big difference.  Always run 10 ply with a diesel.
