Tire options???? Help!

Im looking for a good LONG TERM tire to put on my 2500 4x4. I currently have 285 70 17 BFG ATs that came on the truck that have worn out like tight rolled jeans! Any haulers or long haul drivers make a recomendation on what tire to use. As I said, LONG TERM!. Not looking for cool looking, AT tire, I do haul a trailer weekly for a mowing business and haul a Jeep on a car hauler once a month or so, So D or E load range is prefered. Anyone had good luck with BFG Long trails? Any other options? Also the perrili Scoripians??? Discount is selling me on the BFG AT and the perrilis......Help spend my $$$!!!


Thanks!.

Sounds like you're looking for a set of Michelins. They will last at least 80K. Any one you get. All others pale in comparison.

I have friends that have used the Firestone Transforce AT on other diesels and got 70K + out of them.

Michelin LTX A/S. Low rolling resistance and long long treadwear. Should be the ticket IMO.

I have 4 like new BFG 315/70 - 17 A/T's I'll take $600 for. They still have the tits and the protective film on them. They are off of an 08 Hummer with 10 miles on it.
