Best longest lasting highway tire / a/t
Hey guys I am about to start a job on an oil rig and as some of you know you have to travel a good deal of highway miles to get there and when you get there there is gravel rock dirt and mud leading up to the rig. I was hoping someone could help me out to which tire would be the absolute bestto fit my needs. The terra grappler I'm not sure I want cause I was reading earlier on here on how they suck at lasting. I was wondering if anyone has those Michelin ltx a/t 2??? I kinda like them. Thanks guys!

michelins wear like steel. to me the wet traction is lacking. i would personally like something a little grippier. but for your application i think they would be perfect. bought my 06 used with 33000miles. the rears were worn (probably due to p.o. doing some showing off). the fronts are original and i now have just over 80000miles and have never rotated since ive had them. still drive great.

Toyo makes some of the best rubber on the road. Toyo A/T, Toyo H/T, and Toyo M-55 (these are pricey but designed for a lot of gravel driving).

Heard a couple of guys getting 100 k out of these: http://toyotires.com/tire/pattern/m-55
LTX's wear really good on pavement but they are crap on snow and ice (which shouldnt be an issue for you anyway).
Despite being a mud tire I have had absolutely great wear from my Cooper ST's and I dont rotate them either. The rubber compound is pretty hard. Again, they suck on ice.
