Hello, I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. I am going to get new tires soon, because the ones on it , while they have decent tread left, are old (made in 2013) and have a lot of cracking and I would like to replace them before I have a problem.
The tire size I run is 285/70/17.
This truck does not get a ton of miles put on it, because I have a beater Cavalier as my daily driver/gas sipper car. However, when the truck does get used, it's being used for "truck stuff" (hauling full loads of firewood home, bed filled with dirt/mulch, debris, etc., often enough to make it squat quite a bit). It is also used in all kinds of road conditions, clear highway, muddy unpaved back roads, snow, pulling bushes out in 4WD, etc.
I expect that the new tires will "age out" because of rubber degradation before the tread is all used up, but I want a good set of tires, since I am on the road with heavy loads when I'm using it.
Does anyone have a recommendation of good all-terrain tires?
These are the ones I am leaning towards right now: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tire...r=2008&autoModClar=QuadCab&vehicleSearch=true
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
