'11 is going to need tires soon, suggestions?

The Michelin LTX M/S is an awesome tire. By looking at the tread you would never think it was an excellent snow and ice and mild offroad tire. I know people that get 70k-90k miles out of them. The Cooper tires I have had in the past have also been good. I had a set of Bridgestone REVO's but after 6 years I took them off because they got hard on me... (35K miles and plenty of tread left)

One thing about the BFG All Terrains, they throw rocks really bad. So if you're doing lots of gravel, I'd get something else. I've put em on my last two trucks, because they are such great tires. But they just destroy paint jobs. They are also quite soft, you have to rotate them LOTS.

I have Cooper AT3's on mine. So far I like them, but only have 3K on them.

 

I ran across a link to discount codes for tirebuyer.com on bobistheoilguy and thought I'd share. No promises these codes will work, but worth a try for $100 or $50 off.

True, I got mudflaps since my parents have a gravel driveway and all you hear for the first three miles is the tinking of rocks against the paint... Then of course theres the ones that hang on just long enough until you get on the highway...

All AT tires I have seen throw lots of gravel.

It's unfortunate, because I found they were the best tires for all year round. Snow/Ice, Mud, and even highway, as they aren't that noisy. But if you do lots of highway, the tread just burns off em as they are so soft.

 

I think when my stock ones are done, I'll be buying to Yoko Geolandars A/T. Tried the Toyo At's, they suck in the winter, and in mud, but wear nice and are good on pavement, and don't throw boulders at your paint.

I'll have to agree with White on the Michelin LTX M/S2s; they've been great for me in all situations I've encountered.

 

Just put a set on my Siverado, and love them.

I try not to, that's why I got mudflaps! They protext the outside paint so now i just hear it underneath the truck (I have oversize tires so the inside of the wheels are still uncovered), and well that's normal wear and tear to me...

I'm very happy with my Cooper AT3's. I'd also check out the Toyo AT2.

Min too, my parents use mutated gravel, much bigger than the normal stuff, almost pebble/small rock size...

LTX MS2's cannot be beat if you drive alot of highway with occasional off highway operation. Treadlife is exceptional 50K plus if rotated, proper air psi is kept.

 

I've really liked my Cooper AT3's other than treadlife. I will be lucky to get 30K from them. It seems they wore decent until 15K and then wear accelerated.

I had the geolander ats on my last truck, great tires!

Have any of you guys ever tried the nitto nt420s? They are suppose to be good wet/street tires, good for everything except snow. Discount tire gave me price just under $700 for the set with certificates for free replacement, what a are your thoughts guys?

[Chris]

A lot of guys on SilveradoSS.com like them and they will be my next tire
