Hankook ATM RF10
There seems to be a lot of traffic on this and other forums about tire options for our trucks. With that being said....
After reading this information and others recommendations the past several months I decided to take the plunge and pursue the purchase of some new shoes. Had been running the Toyo's AT 285/75/17 (sipped). With 28K+ miles and 9/32 of 17/32 remaining, they were wearing nicely, until just recently when it was noticed a lot of slipping on wet pavement, corners etc... Always properly inflated I had been experimenting with different tire pressure (unloaded) to correct this issue. No improvement. I knew it was time for a change.
So.....my search was narrowed to the Hankook ATM RF10, Nitto Durra/Terra Grappler, and BFG (always a popular choice). We all know that a lot goes into others recommendations considering we all drive differently and have different uses for our Duramax's. One of the deciding factors for me was a 4X4 Tire review conducted by a third party - the National Forest Association. The link is http://www.4x4tirereview.com/ATcomparotest.html.
Well, with a 60K warranty and the above information I bit the bullet. Got a great deal, mounted, balanced, siped, and filled with nitrogen for <$750, with a small trade. Here are some pics and a copy of the warranty.
I will chime in later to let everyone know how they perform and wearing.
