I'm in the market for some new tires. My truck currently has BF Goodrich, with the E load range.

Anyone have any good things to say about other brands?

 

I have the stock Cont's (Load E) on my 06. SUCK for winter driving.
I have a second set of Cooper Discovery M&S Studded on steel rims for winter time. Hopefully that season will be ending here in another few weeks so I can go back to the summer tires.

 

I have had two sets of Remington light truck (LT) load range E radial tires. The first set worked so well on my tandem axle trailer, I bought another set for my tow vehicle. When aired up to 65 psi you roll down the road noticably easier than with lesser pressure tires. I notice there are grades that I can pull in a higher gear because of the reduced drag.

 

We have the BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A load range E on our 04 and it has been very good tire in mud and snow. A friend of mine wanted to borrow our tires. I said NO WAY. He told me those was the best tires to get for all around driving he has heard of.

 

If your looking for a Mud/Snow, give the Firestone Destination MTs a look. Load range depends on the size, but the 235/85/16s are load range E. I have a set on my truck and love them! Of course most my really heavy hauling take me off the pavement, which is why I went with the MT.

 

Thanks for the tips. I ended up going with a set of Nitto Terra Graplers...

We leave Austin to transit to the San Juan Islands, WA next week!

 

I just noticed the Rickson Tire & Wheel ads on this site for the first time today. I put a set of 4 225R19.5 on new 19.5" wheels on the rear axle of my E450 cube van. I've got 130K miles on the tires and they still look new. The old 16" tires used to wear out in 50-60k miles. It was an expensive conversion, but if you're changing your tires for the 1st time at 40-50k miles, and you plan on keeping the truck a long time, this is probably the best thing you could do to prolong tire life.
