new tires

fairchase · 12-02-2008, 11:09 AM

It's about time for some new shoes on my 05 3500 srw.
I'm planning on staying with 265/70/17 load range E's.
I'm looking at the revos, toyo OC AT's, nitto TG's , and the dick cepek FC II's.

I haven't seen much feed back on the cepek FC II. How would you rate this tire compared to the others?

How does it wear compared to the others?

dick cepeks are probally the bombest at tire you can get...no joke, they wear like iron and man they are tough little guys...snow, rain, rock, they perform pretty darn good...they will clog up in mud but what at tire wont? id def run them before i ran the nitto's or toyos

As far as tire wear goes, I can tell you that those toyos will wear better than the other tires you've listed. They get decent traction as well, but are definitely not the most aggressive. They'll do alright off road though. Much like any all terrain tire, thick mud can cause traction issues so if that's an issue I'd go with a mud terrain. From my experiences though I've seen Alot of people switch from the bridgestone revo and the nitto terra grappler to the toyos and have been alot happier with them. I haven't had much experience with the all terrain dick cepek's but I do know they are made by cooper tires and as far as their wear goes they seem to wear out faster than the toyos do.
