not so pros

[Genius]

I got 20k out of the first 2 sets of stock tires on mine. Bfg AT will be good for 50k. They're worth the extra $

id rather have the hauling and towing capacity of the 3/4 and most guys i know running the bfg tires get good mileage out of them

Well look into those.

For me I don't need a truck to tow much, a 1/2 ton will do what I need.

I'd be willing to sacrifice less towing capability for a truck that gets better mileage.

We need something for a new camper in the future. But we don't camp much more than 10-15 miles from home. A 1/2 ton truck should be more than capable of that.

Those new Nissans are fuuuugly.

I agree.
I've pissed around not wanting to spend the extra when I get tires. I went up to the 285's for a couple reasons. 1, I think they look better, and 2, the tread is deeper. Not just deeper in places, deeper all the way across the tire. There aren't any bald spots when there's 1/4 of tread right next to it

I just looked. 5.0L v8 diesel. It'll get decent milege, but it's not enough displacement if you're used to something bigger.

Well boys if you find a tire that gits any milage it prolly be a 10 ply car tire just sayin. Got 62000 miles on my 15 dmax I tow a fair bit of farm equipment and and it seems about 30000 is all I can git outa me tires. My bfgs are ready to be replaced, not sure what to try for round 3

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

I think my next set of tires are going to be Kenda. Got a local dealer with some good prices.
I have yet to get 20k out of a set of rubbers

 

[Redfin]

Dont think there was any "set back" when they built this garage. My other mirror was against the pole.

Hey Rodney look into Bridgestone, I think they make a decent tire that lasts.

When it's time to buy a truck I'm going to give Toyota a chance. My only concern would be towing and if they'd pull a camper.

I don't know if our next vehicle will be a full size SUV or a truck. All I know is that Lisa's Highlander will be going no where's

I had an 08 Tundra double cab 4x4 with the 5.7 and 4.10's. They're stout, more than enough to pull a camper 10-15 miles.

I prefer the Suburban over the truck myself.

Subs and Tahoes with the air suspension are a force to be reckoned with. A suburban will pull better than a 1/2 ton pickup just because of its weight.

The air parts are a bit pricey to replace when they fail though

From what I've seen, coopers could possibly be the best bang for the buck out there. I don't have much experience with longevity, as my son's are brand new, but the price was sure right

Michelin.

The biggest problem is getting good life from a tire that also does well in snow. It's easy to get 60k out of a set of ribbed Michelins, but they get stuck in the driveway.
