    New Tire Day! Off: Defender LTX M/S-2. On: Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015

    Thanks for all of that feedback. That is weird behavior. Have you noted that they slip in the rain on specific types of pavement? Is it smooth blacktop, or concrete? My application for these would be on my GMC 3500HD, so no shortage of weight. I will have an empty bed a lot of times. But the...

    New Tire Day! Off: Defender LTX M/S-2. On: Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015

    John, Care to update on the Yoko GO15s? Have you put on enough miles yet to judge: snow/ice performance effects on fuel economy any balancing issues tread wear (how many miles do they have now?) Thanks!

    Tires for HD diesel truck (50/50 towing/not, 90/10 pavement/dirt)

    Thanks for the suggestion. The largest size they make in the Firestone HT and AT tires is my factory size.

    That's the second report I've heard about the Falken Wildpeaks having a long life in an LT version. Thanks.

    Tires for HD diesel truck (50/50 towing/not, 90/10 pavement/dirt)

    Totally agree with you. I have no intent on sacrificing my truck's towing prowess. Its an absolute pleasure to tow with in the mountains. Up grades, down grades, and everything in between. Loaded. Unloaded. I really like my truck/camper combo too, and so I've all but written off a "lift kit" per...

    Tires for HD diesel truck (50/50 towing/not, 90/10 pavement/dirt)

    My “rock crawler” background won’t let me stick with a stock size, unfortunately. :LOL: I’ve tried to let that bug die, and it just won’t. When setting up and adjusting the weight distribution hitch on my TT, the trailer tongue height now prevents me from opening my tailgate while I’m hitched...

    I wasn’t even aware of that particular tire. Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to add that to my list to look at! (y)

    Tires for HD diesel truck (50/50 towing/not, 90/10 pavement/dirt)

    I’ve considered tire chains for that also. For those that are recommending the Michelins on their HD truck, what kind of tread life are you getting? Yes…

    Tires for HD diesel truck (50/50 towing/not, 90/10 pavement/dirt)

    I included the Michelin on my list of considerations. It’s definitely more highway focused. It USED to be well regarded for its long tread life, but my last experience with them on my Tundra wasn’t so. I consider the scenario when I’m driving 6 hours on the highway to Elk Camp towing my TT...

    Tires for HD diesel truck (50/50 towing/not, 90/10 pavement/dirt)

    I’ve not considered the BFG K02 because of so many reports about tire balancing issues and poor tread life. I used to be a die hard BFG A/T fan back in the day!

    Thank you for your service, Tyman. 🇺🇸 Curious: What do you drive and tow?

    Howdy everyone. 👋🙂 Brief introduction Long term BITOG lurker. I'm OCD about vehicle preventive maintenance, but nowhere near the knowledge depth on UOA stuff as some of these members. -I've learned a lot. Will learn a lot more, I'm sure. I reside in Colorado, am an avid outdoorsman and a...
