You musta gave yer dad the heavy end then, ehh.

 

I've got D range Dayton Timberline A/T's on the 91...they work just fine...smoke well too
Goin in the morning to get rid of the garbage michelins for toyo a/t's on the 04 (in load range E it is the tow pig after all) But I like the STT's

 

I put 80000(50000 Miles) KM on my BFG M/T towing my 12 to 14000 lb goose evryday, never had a problem. Am now onto toyo A/T D rated because E rated were not available up here at the time.Stil no probs. I don't come any where near 6000 lbs on my front.You need to go to a scale and verify your weights before you make wrong statements. The stock E rated tires are only rated for 3195 lbs. Even Chrysler wouldn't put those tires on if the front end weighed that much.

 

Ok, back to the subject of the thread. He was asking for opinions and I gave mine, you gave your and that's what the thread was askin for. I wasn't lookin for a pissin match on who is right or wrong. There's plenty of room on this subject for everybodies opinions to be right. My truck rolls over scales pretty regular in the course of it's work life.

 

well put 285/70/17 toyo A/T's on dads 04 this morning...load range D. They roll a little bit...and we haven't even adjusted the tire pressures yet to our liking. Nice tire overall. I still would get the STT's though.

 

, i may see if they have a similar sized tire in the STTs in E range for my truck, im not goin down to a 265, but i will go up a size if need be

 

I went from load range E 265 on my truck, to 35x12.50x17 load range D's on my truck, and I am perfectly happy with the "downgrade" to D.

I have Trxus MT's on my 93 Gasser. They are quieter than the BFG AT's my brother has on his Blazer. They are rated for around 3600 lbs. I don't recall the exact rate. They are under your $200 limit last I looked. Had 5 shipped for $70 when I got mine.

I have been looking, too. I would like the STT's but they don't have a heavy rating in their 17's.

 

I have Cooper STT 35x12.50x18 on my 2005 F350 Diesel 4x4 Crew cab Long Bed and I think they are better than BFG. I rotate the tires every oil change. Over 20,000 miles and very little ware. Very low road noise. Very good in mud, snow and water. I will purchase them next time again but taller!

 

you are comparing 2 different tires in that pic, ones a mud tire and the others a all terrain tire, both are good tires, hard packed or loose dry stuff id go BFG, mud, slop, or grease and id go Cooper.
