I've got the Yokahama Geolander's and they have about 30k on them so far. Been rotated every 5k. Not great in the mud, but I get around fine for elk season. They handle well on the highway and in the snow/ice they have been great.

i heard toyo open county AT's wear likeiron, my new truck has 35x14.50x16, and the guy says they are wearing 10x better then the toyo MT's

i had the new Wrangler MT/R-K's (35x12.50x15) on my Jeep (rip) and they barely wore at all... mind you i only had them 10000 kms before the jeep got stolen, but they tore up the mud, stuck like glue to the rocks, very quiet, seemed to be wearing slowlyand evenly.

i know its a different beast on a truck... but i would be willing to give them a shot... as i will be most likey be getting rid of the 14.5's

I think the Geolanders are a hit and miss type deal. One of my friends had a set and like every other set of lugs on his are worn down and he doesnt do that much but drive back and forth to school

I just ordered the Dunlop Rover M/T Maxx Traction for my truck. I heard a lot of good about them, have good off roading and good on road manners. My Toyo open country a/t's didnt last, maybe 20,000 at most.

Sounds like a rotate and balance and possibly an alignment are in order for your friend depending on how uneven the wear is.

I had BFG's on my gasser silverado and they seemed to last forever, but they were rough riding... They eventually cupped bad, but then again, i might rotate every 10k or 15k miles (not good)... I put Mudd Dogs on most recently and they wore super fast and cupped like the first few thousand miles... Won't buy them again!

BFG's prolly buy again...
Mudd Dogs nope, won't buy again

Never tried Coopers maybe i'll try em next...

I used to run Bridgstone Dueler A/T's. Rotated every 4,000 - 5,000 miles. Would wear out every 30,000 to 36,000 miles. Junk.

Now, for the first time, I have bought Michelin LTX M/S's LT265 75 R16's. Only have 6,000 miles on them for now.

COMPLETELY different truck with these tires on.

Will get some Michelin's for the Tahoe when the time comes.

I will go with Michelin's and never look back for now on.

Someone has said that Hankook Dynapro RF10's are good tires. They say they wear well and balance well.
