thanks anyway. i'm thinking about trying some goodyear duratrac's next.

You might give Federal tires a look. I'm running the new M/T's. They're crazy aggressive and holding up great. I've been though nearly every brand and style as well. I think I paid less for the Federal's than anything.

Federal couragia? i've seen them, but didn't figure they would last very long.

Here is a pic of my 94. I love these tires. They are two years old now (this pic is when they were new). I do use mine daily in the summer pulling a trailer (lot less weight). I have maybe 10k on them now. I've rotated them property and they still look great.
I can get current pics & mileage if interested.
Also, very slight road noise. Nothing like my old Nitto Mud Grapplers. But it's there. For some reason my buddies Explorer (same tire) had more tire road noise tham my larger tires.?
Mine are E rated.
These will be going on my Ford when its current tires die. Also, another of my friends will be installing them on his F-350 after his 3rd set of Nitto Terra crappers gives out.
Can you tell I like these tires...
Rain- good (maybe diesel torque & lightweight reg cab)
Snow- awesome
Mud- awesome
No experience with rock or wet grass slopes.
Hope it helps.:tu:

No offense but all those tire's are garbage except for the coopers. I would try good-year, michelin or event bf goodrich. Maybe also try going with a little less aggressive tread. These are aggressive but I had 40,000 on my f-350 with bfg mud terrains and I sold them with a little less then half tread. Also I always go with the max psi listed on the tire (no they wont wear in the center unless you have the wrong size rims). the only really good cheaper tires are Kumho road venture a/t's

You're not gonna get good milage out of MT's add towing heavy and you're just compounding the problem. Do you need the traction of a MT ?

thanks DD for the info on the duratrac's. Thanks oldmansimek for the info, i think i'll try the duratracs next. Tireman, yes, i know that m/t's won't get the mileage of at's, but i'm in the pastures, mud, cow lots,etc... every day. Do i need them every day? not in the summer mostly. Do i like having them when i need them? yes, positively. I have ran some at's but the wear was no better than their m/t counterparts, so why not have the m/t's?

Try the Cooper AT3's .... Not super aggressive but they will toss mud if needed ...i love them on my F250 ... And it actually handles the road nice too..:tu:

I got better mileage out of my ATR's than my AT3's, but I liked the AT3's way better.

Thanks for the input. That gives me another option to look at. I started this thread to see what other people were running and having good luck out of.
