I bought a new SUV years ago and the dealer installer alloy wheels and a set of Dayton 10.50 31s to make it look more appealing and thats all it did . I tried two different places besides the dealer to balance them and no one could get rid of the shake so I sold them and bought my old reliable brand BFG and then life was good again . I feel its not worth the agravation if they don`t work out just buy what " You " know is a good tire for a couple dollars more because You have to be happy with them

My dad and I have ran than for about 12 years on our personal and work trucks. The guy who owned the tire shop back then swore by them, so we tried them and loved them. Over the years he told us many instances where they lasted alot longer than any BFG's.
These tires arent a big, flashy name, but we put them through hell and they never disappointed us. I am trying to find a local dealer up here, now that I am in another part of the state so I can buy some for my wife's 02 Exploder and my 02 F250.
Just my 2cents.

I live in a small town and there is a cop;e of tire places but the one that every one goesto sells Daytons. bso I have had some experiance, I am a bridgeston/firestone guy but i dont care for daytons if you want a good tire buy a bridgstone but if you want a cheap one go with lamanes or widetrake wich are even cheaper than dayton.

Dayton Timberline A/T
I just got a set installed yesterday and they seemed to work great on wet pavement. While I was waiting for the tires to be installed, it started to pour. We received about 1.5 inches in 2 hours. I left Tires Plus and put on about 50 miles cruising around on very wet roads. I never had a problem.
I'm midwest U.S., so have experienced just about every possible road, weather, and surface condition out there.
And the Dayton Timberline is still my choice, overall.
Regrettably, new company management have decided that "they" prefer the Toyo Open Country H/T.
In my opinion, there is no comparison between the two -- the ride given by the Toyo actually makes me nauseous.
I suppose this is new management's way of telling me that my 20 years of loyal service are about to come to an abrupt ending.
Yes...I am that serious about having the safest, best quality rubber under me, when I'm doing my job.
Maybe, I can find work at Bridgestone?

I haven't tried the Dayton Tires but I have seen them on a number of trucks in the area. I have had great success with Cooper tires for traction and durability. They rank a little lower in fuel mileage than others I have had but for ride, traction, and wear, I am / was extremely pleased with Coopers.
Now if they only made a set in the 275/65/20 "E" range that my Harley has...

It would be interesting to find out how he made out with the Dayton Tires as I have 40K on the OEM tires that came with the truck and will start looking at tires in the next couple of months. These Goodyears have worn well, but they are almost impossible to balance when the dealer goes to rotate them.

After originally posting this I bought BFG Longtrails, two weeks ago replaced them with a set of RIMS and Yokohama Geolanders.

Idk I had a set of timber lines A/Ts put on my 91 F-150... put about 10k on that and switched them to the 89 and put about 20k there and gave the truck to my buddy, he still uses them for truck pulls. They got me through a melted snow cornfield in east central Wisconsin, I never got stuck in the snow up there right on the lake (so we had a lot). I drove around in four winters with them with bad front end and only after four years did they start camber wearing. I had the wet take off problem, but never had any issues stopping. Drove around on frozen lakes. In the summer took it up north for muddin, never got stuck. IDK I want a set to put on my 2000. Oh and I had the american racing outlaw 2s stock on the truck and never had any high speed shaking problems...
Now the Firestone whatevers that came on my 2000 are garbage. I will never touch another set.
Lets see if we can keep this one going longer.
