New Tires

I just put the Defender LTX M/S LT275/65R18 on my 2014 1500. What a difference. Anybody want to buy 4 GY for cheap?

Weight distribution has alot to do with traction.

 

Little weight on rear and a heavy foot is what's dangerous.

Of course I would have better traction if I hauled a bed full of sand around all the time. That's still not an excuse for bad tires. I don't drive with a heavy foot, most of the time. Even so, the old tires had horrible wet traction. They didn't feel safe to me. The Michelins are a huge improvement even with the same weight distribution on the truck.

He would comment the same about the Ford bed too? Why does it not have a bedliner? Completely misses the FACTS!

Budy of mine runs the OEM Goodyears on his 3500 SRW trucks. Love the tire, gets over 100k miles out of the tires. He is in his mid 60s and I would guess he has over 3 million miles under his belt.

I noticed the Good Year Eagle LS2 is a grand touring all season tire. Has anyone stayed in that tire category when they replaced their tires? I noticed the Michelin Premier A/S is a highly rated tire, but seems to be mostly used on passenger cars.

 

Is moving to the light truck or SUV tires a better option than staying with the grand touring?
