Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted November 26, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 26, 2019 I need to put new Tires on my 2018' Silverado 4x4. Looking for suggestions on what others have used in the past with good results. I drive a decent amount in a year, probably 25k + so I think that might rule out trying pure winter tires for the first time which is what I was originally thinking on doing with some Blizzaks. The stock tires are junk at 44k miles and slide all over in the rain let alone snow. Wrangler Fortitude HT's 265 65 18 It's a Z71 but that's just a skid plate and slightly better shocks so I'm not going the All Terrain TA route with this one.

XCR1250 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Michelins or BF Goodrich have been the longest lasting for me..Seems to be somewhat hard to find BF Goodrich AT in your size, my truck is sizes just like yours and yesterday I tried 4 places for them and they all said they don't stock them, so don't know for sure.

You’ll eat them up in one summer. I’ve had 5 or 6 sets of Duratracs and they have been great. Think I’m gonna mix it up next time though. May go back the BFG or try some Nitto Grapplers or some such. You know what they say, if you like the way something works....change it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmo Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Put these cooper discoverer m + s tires on last year Before sled season. Price was right, work great in the snow, seem to be wearing well. About the only complaint is they are a bit noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same tires on my truck, they are the #1 worst tires I've ever seen for traction, yesterday I spun out at least 6 times in 60 miles at speeds under the speed limit, roads looked salted and mostly only wet.

I'm serious when I say this, last year I lost control on the truck on slush under 25 MPH in a little over a mile, wth, worst tires I've ever owned, they were on the truck new, but NEVER again for me, scary crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irv Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 For an all season tire with long wear without any thoughts of getting snows, I'd go with a Michelin mud and snow. I also like Cooper tires but I am not 100% sure what a good long lasting M&S type tire they sell? I currently have my original Good Years that came with my Ram that need replacing soon but since I already have dedicated snows, I will be looking mainly for a summer type/all season in the spring. Most likely I will be going with a Cooper something or other as I have had great luck with them and they are likely the cheapest $$$ of the good tire brands out there.

I've been wanting to try Cooper Discovery tires out on last couple trucks but replaced the truck before it really needed tires. The one @Angry ginger mentioned seem relatively inexpensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one @Angry ginger mentioned seem relatively inexpensive My dad, who is over 80 yrs old, and has likely tried more tires than anyone I know, being that age, and travelling all over this province and others due to his pipeline work for years purchased a set of Cooper's for his car 2 years ago and said they were the nicest, quietest and smoothest tire he has ever owned. I believe they are also Discovery's? We have a local place that sells Cooper's and not a soul around can touch their prices due to the volume they sell. Most likely the place I will be using and Cooper's will most likely be the tire I choose as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted November 26, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Can't say for snow tires but the Toyo's I've had on my 2500HD have been amazing. This is my 3rd diesel and I never made more than 25K on a set of tires until these. Went 55K and had some tread left. Wet snow they are fair. Dry/hard snow they are very good. Not bad for road noise either for this aggressive of tire. https://www.toyotires.com/tire/pattern/rugged-terrain-open-country-rt The A/T's might be the way to go. The more micro cuts a tire has in the lugs the better it will be on the ice. Edited November 26, 2019 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coopers are nice for the money but only set I owned 2 of them bulged and yes the tire pressure was correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
