Time for new tires

P235/75 R17 on now. What did some of you guys replace stocks with? How about a LT tire instead of a P? I have 45,000 on the Hankooks now. There is still some tread left, but I am ready for new.

Toyo Open Country T/A. Same size. Good truck tire with more aggressive tread than stock, but not loud on the road. Load Range E , 12 Ply.

Two stock tires (Load Range C - 4 ply) punctured on a rock/gravel/dirt road. Only had one spare. It was a nightmare as the ice chest was empty while waiting for a tow.

I got them at Les Schwabb, $1050 +-. They were not exactly the same as the stock. I think they were actually a little less wide.

They look good on the truck too. It's not a A/T, but I'm not a mudder anyway. Plenty aggressive to get you to the camopign spot and let you offroad while there.

I've got a 05' 5.4 4x2 screw with 3.55LS. I second the P265/70/R17 Michellin LTX M/S. Replaced the crappy Conti's 255/65/17s with them last week. Love the look. Wanted something a little more than the street look but not too aggressive so as to appear 4x4. Drives and looks like it should. No more steering wheel shimmy I use to get. Installed with the works $747.
