Light Truck Tires

[Bushmoose]

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.

You might want to consider a 10ply tire if rocky terrain is pretty rough.

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

I'm running Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S All Terrain Tires. Their all weather tires and have decent tread for the bush, I would not be afraid to use them at all in 4WD.

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