Looking for opinions on a a new set of tires for my truck. My driving will be about 70/30 highway and gravel backroad. The backroad part is where I need a tough tire, able to handle sometimes big rocky gravel and mud. Just wondering what some of you are running on your trucks?
I've been running Michelin Defender LTX 265 75R16 for a few years now and love them. I'm also 70% on pavement. Nice quiet tire but great on bush roads.
Can't go wrong with BF Goodrich T/A KO2. I have them on my Ridgeline and I am happy with them. They are available is many sizes and ratings. I have also used Goodyear Duratracs, and I really liked those, but they might be too aggressive for your needs.
I've always had good luck with the Michelins, wouldn't change them for anything else.Quote:

His 70% highway running might be a bit hard with 10 ply.Quote:

The link might take you to the 20 inch tires since that is what I was looking at.

I use the Michelin defenders as well and so far so good
Thanks for all the feedback! Considering my options now and it's nice to hear what others are using.
Bridgestone dueler ats have worked for me, on my fourth set
Toyo Open Country ATII. Had them on my 2012 GMC and now on my 2018 F150 Super Crew since new. I am now, unfortunately, probably 99.9 percent highway driving. They wear very well and have been good on ice and snow. They are now rated for winter. Not noisy.
I managed a business that had about 25 pickups. Tried many over the years and Michelin we’re always the longest lasting. As soon as stock tires wear out 10ply Michelin tires went on. I loved the ms/ltx but they changed them a bit but still a good all season tire for a variety of conditions
I have both Ko2s and LTX M/S. The KO2s are slightly better in the snow but don't wear nearly as long as the LTX, the LTX are the best value and are better in the snow than the CT branded M/S tires.
Firestone destination xt, I have them on a 2500 gmc 2wd van, they work good, they have very good reveiws
