ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 My experience with Mickey Thompson tires was not good, but that was many years ago. I had 2 that would not balance out. I have had good service from Toyo. I just put a new set of AT2's on my dually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 I see they are not in you list but the best tire I ever ran for towing were Nitto Dura Grapplers. Amazing tire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Toyo AT2`'s are good tires we run them on our work trucks. How ever when I replace the tires on my personal truck I am going with BFG all terrain we have had several sets and they have always been good tires. I am not a big fan of any of the brands you listed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree they do cost more, but tires is one place I don't mind spending extra. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 My work Truck with the toyo's on it is right at 11,000lbs I have 30,000 miles on them right now and they still look good. It's a 350 drw and even the outer duals look good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I have the Cooper tires on my 2009 Ram 1500. So far they've been excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessguy 778 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I put General Grabber AT2's on my f150 in the spring and they are going well. I will never understand why 1/2 ton pickups come with family car tires except they give a smoother, quieter ride for the soccer moms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a big trailer or load to haul you need a heavier platform to do the job. Just so you don't think I am just bashing, I drive a 6 cyl 1/2 ton Ram pickup and it does a good job for me hauling small loads and small trailers, while getting good gas millage. When I need to haul a larger load or tow a big trailer I rent a truck or use my son's truck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have had Nittos before on my wife's old Tacoma they were good tires no problems with them. But never towed with them. I do have a funny story about them. I noticed her rear tire looked low but didn't check it for about 2 weeks I kept forgetting. When I checked it there was no air in it at all 0 psi. Now they were 10 ply tires but still I was impressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Funny you say that BigTom, I just read over on the Grand Design forum that a dodge 1500 is exactly capable of 1000 lbs of payload. The gentleman who wrote it up said his 1500 is only rated for 950 pounds of payload, needless to say he was astounded by the limited capability of his purchase.

LONE-STAR 370 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Well bfg didn't make the size I wanted for my truck so I am going with nitto Terra Grappler G2. My second choice was toyo but the reviews on 2500 and 3500 rams weren't the best so I am going with nitto. NTB has a extra $100.00 off nitto this month to which is nice.
