tires
well, my 04 FX4 Supercab will be needing new tires soon..I have almost 55k on the original BFG Rugged Trails, and have been happy with their performance.
I'm thinking of getting them again, at Costco they are very reasonably priced here in CT. Options seem limited for the 18inch wheel. Any suggestions? My friend put I believe Bridgestone Dueler Revos on his truck, but they were almost 55.00 more each that the BFG's
Another easily avaialable option are the Goodyear Wranglers, but other than that, not too much around. Thoughts????
Truck is still stock, no lifts, leveling kits, etc.

I have the Bridgestone Dueller Revos and so far so good. I have the 265 70 18's and they fit great even before my 2" leveling kit. I have pics in my gallery before the kit. I only have 6k miles on them but they ride great on the highway and handle good. I hope I get at least 50k out of them. I paid $189 a tire installed at a local dealer.

Duelers are the best tires out there. But alot of people like the BFG's...IMO, your better off paying the extra $ to get the Duelers
the Wrangler AT/S is an okay tire, but you can do better. Besides, it ain't cheap

Stick with the BFG's... Bridgestone sucks... Had them on and got 16,000 miles on one set before Firestone replaced them, and then 14,000 out of the last set before they replaced them again... then I traded the truck! They do not last, even with proper inflation, rotations and alingments! Yes it was the Revo's too...

You've probably got the Long Trails or Rugged Trails, they're OK but the A/T's are better. Keep them aired up, rotate them regularly, and you should get 50k out of them.

If you want a tire that not only looks great, Firestone Destination AT's are rated right up there with Revo's, if not better. They're also reasonably priced.
I recently bought a set and I'm very happy with them. They're aggressive looking but are extremely quiet as far as road noise goes. I haven't had them long enough to rate them in snow, or dirt, but wet traction seems very good, and they handle much better than the stock Americraps I had.
The Destination AT comes in 275 65 TR 18's.
