Bridgestone duelers. Love my set. Have 30K mileage on my Dueler Revo 3 ATs and lots of life on them still, guessing another 30K or more. They really hold up well and run quiet for ATs.

It doesn't matter if you live in the city. They will be full of nails in a week. I just put trailfinder AT on my f150. Feel good.

I've had Kumhos they have a pretty soft sidewall. I like the Ridge Grapplers they're not terribly aggressive but they will get you where you need to go. My wife's lifted F250 4 wheel drive diesel had 35x12.5x20 inch tires on it and we got about 55 or so thousand miles out of them.

Are you suggesting AT tires last longer? Have seen several sets of michilin's do 100+k Got 90K on a set of bridgestone street tires on a tahoe. Got 83K on my wifes crossover suv tires only replaced due to age and cracking.

Got 83K on my wifes crossover suv tires only replaced due to age and cracking. ATs and MTs normally have softer tread and will never last as long as a HT. They are also heavier. If truck does not leave highway and does not tow then a HT P rated is probably best. Some people buy aggressive tires for looks which to me is like buying a 4x4 that never leaves the pavement. At least in most of Texas.

I will never buy Goodyear’s. I have a 2WD Tundra and I run Nitto G2’s. I can fly on the hiway and they run just like butter.

I'm retired don't drive that much, just short distance nice or twice a week. Buy a tire that your happy with and reasonably priced and be happy with your decision.

FYI the factory tires on most it not all vehicles have less tread depth than the same replacement tire. A few places do sell the factory tire and it’s significantly cheaper than standard tire. i always wondered this

Do you have any proof/documentation on that? I have heard that, I've also heard that the auto makers get the tire manufacturers to make them special runs of tires with softer compounds so they are quieter and smoother and that they ask them to make them cheaper etc. I never toss the factory tires, I always run them till they're dead and I have seen no difference in them. Even replaced the factory tires with exact same tire from Discount and had nearly identical service/mileage. My bet is they are old wives tales.

Discount tire offers the exact same tire with two different tread depths. I was first told this at the Ford dealership.

As a non auto industry employee I believe it is a farce. I've gotten great service and high mileage out of all the factory original new tires I've ever had. I was hoping you had some info other than just the same old well they used cheaper tires.

My 2020 tundra came with junk bridgestones and they have 20k on them. My 2010 tundra has michelin defender ltx tires...with around 30k on them. The bridgestone tires look like they've been on the road for much longer, while the michelins still look brand new. Both are the exact truck, just 10 years apart.

Im kind of a vehicle nerd. I take care of mine, my parents and my brothers vehicles. Off the top of my head factory new tires. My 1994 chevy came with uniroyal tiger paws. I was not a fan of them but they lasted between 60-70k miles 2004 duramax came with bridgestones ran for over 60,000 miles 2005 duramax came with same bridgestones ran for over 70,000 miles 2006 tahoe came with bridgestones ran for over 80,000 miles 2011 chevy z71 i bought new and sold to my uncle at 53,000 miles he raplaced them just before 70,000 (OEM bridgestones) Wifes current ford escape came with continentals we got 83,000 miles on them my 2015 ram 1500 came with goodyears i put 72,000 miles on them It is a farce to me. People like to replace factory tires early because they don't like them.

My F250 diesel came with Michelin (forget the specific model) which I believe I drove ~65k miles. I can confirm model and mileage but a more specific number doesn't matter. I could have gotten more mileage but I abused them and I was passed ready for something that didn't suck so bad off road.

It all depends on what you drive on most and tread design. My go to tire for years has been Michelin LMS now called Defender. The open tread channels on the edges makes a huge difference in heavy rain. My 2020 F150 came with GoodYear Wranglers and initially I thought I would take them off but after heavy rain driving, snow and then ice I'm sold on GoodYear tread, we'll see how the wear goes. My last truck came with Hankook (don't remember which model of tire) and I got rid of them at 10k, bad tread design and hydroplaned bad. Not ending up in the ditch or a head-on is obviously worth the extra $.
