Tough Tires...

I am looking for some tough tires that are either self sealing or just extra tough to resist sharp rocks, nails, and other debris. No one seems to make these for trucks that I can find. I want something for my RAM 2500. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Keith

Ok. The things don't have to be bullet proof. Just tired of getting nails all the time from the dump and out at job sites. It would also be nice if they fit my 16"x8" wheels.

Ok good ones. But i have had great success with the toyo MT's. I'm a contractor and am always around sites with nails everywhere. I'm on my third set never a nail screw or anything. the trailer I pull is always getting nails or sharp stones tearing them up.

Michelin makes some serious truck tires..

In the regular stuff. BFG AT's and Toyo MT's seem to work on these trucks the best.

I have had the BFG ATs but they seemed to pull side to side pretty bad in snow and mud. I might give the Toyo tires a try though.
