YOUR FAVORITE TIRES FOR YOUR HUNTIN RIG

[chukar-ridge-quest]

I need new tires for my rig. Used to run BFG A\T's on my old Yota and loved them but didn't get good miles out of them on my GMC2500. Switched to Cooper STT and got just under 40k. What do you guys like?

I think M-55 Toyos 10 ply are the best tire on the market.  For years however they went only to 16 inch.  Dodge and everyone went to 17 inch rims.  I begged Toyo to move to that size and they finally did last year.  Its an AWESOME tire.

I just put Toyo M/T 295/75 R17 on my 05 Dodge. From what I hear I will like them.

 Bone what kind of mileage? Quiet on road and sticky off?

I have the Cooper STT 33x12.50 on my Dodge, so far I love them!  We will see what I get for mileage........

i like the idea of getting more than 40k miles out of my tires that i paid a lot of dough for, first of all. i have run nothing but bf goodrich all terrain k'o's on my last 2 trucks and got 50k miles out of them. my '02 silverado has the les schwab 265/70/17 sxt mud terrain's on it currently and have 43k miles on them and still have 6mm tread depth remaining. i like these tires a lot as well, but i just priced out replacements...$1200.00  that would be for 285's, gonna go 1 size bigger.
rotate your tires every 6k miles and you should get much better than 40k miles out of a quality set of tires. mud terrain tires are typically softer rubber and don't last as long.

I got some maxxis bighorns. They arent so quiet but dont sopund like baja claws either. I dont think they will last 40k miles though cause that would eb alto on those big mt tires.

I got about 50 K out of them, but I took them off early as I like traction.  I probably could have milked a few.  I log alot of miles as you know on the hi-way and the woods. They were good for both...a good compromise.  I was turned onto them when I logged a bit.  All of the loggers liked them on their trucks.  Its important to rotate them or they wll cup on you. Best traction I have ever had in a tire.  I have had them regular....I have had them siped.....and I have had hem studded.  The 10 ply is a must if you spend much time in the woods or haul wood.

Isn't the 10-ply pretty harsh for ride though?

[boneaddict]

I haven't really noticed.  I have them now as well.  I'd rather be a little stiff than changing tires.

[DeKuma]

True.
I had some 8 ply on the Dodge prior and they were really harsh.  Every pepple felt like a canyon.  So far I love the STT ride and handling, but I am concerned on the wear.
Got a steal on them for the set since my old tires had torque cracks after a year.  Got the Coopers as a replacement under warranty.

Really like the Toyos too.

[boneaddict]

You can let a little air out of them, bu then that dips into the gas mileage a little.  With the suspensions of the newer trucks, it may not e as much of an issue if you are in an older ride.

Man I had those BFG A/T's on my F250 and they were terrible in the dirt once it started to get wet. They just held that *censored* and packed it on until it was rubbing the wheel wells. I'll never get another set of them

 Over here on the Wet side, I prefer the BFG Mud Terrains. They give good traction in the mud and clean out really fast. I rotate them every 5k and change them out after about 35K. Then I give them to my buddy who runs them for another 10k -20k. I prefer to change them out sooner and keep better traction out in the woods, costs me a little more but gives me a better piece of mind when I'm out in the sticks.

I have Toyo MTs on my dodge. I've got 50K on them, I need new ones now but thats pretty good for a 38" tire.
