Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 1046075, member: 1451"] What are we talking here? A toy truck that by incident gets stuck working or a truck that gets started at 4am and ran 2-300 miles per day and yanks a trailer down the road? My 00 has had every damn tire under the sun on it. Tires seem to change often enough that what is good now wasnt 5 years ago and vice versa. My superduty, a 00, has been running between 37&40" tires and now as of two years ago 35x12.5r20 mt baja atz. The baja atz is a supreme tire and the price reflects how long they last and how well they perform. There is no reason mine wont go 60k. But that truck isnt setup to be worked out of everyday although its setup as it was when I DID work out of it. At 36 Ive got more important things to waste my energy on at work than climbing into and out of a truck, especially towing. My other idea, run something practical on truck that mega miles. My 2014 Chevrolet 3500hd srw diesel that is two months off the lot at the indy 500 has 10k miles on it already. If you were there and saw a srw z71 that is totally whited out, thats mine :D Anyway, as my 12 dmax had, this truck has the michelin ltx at and they are ***kin awesome for a oem style tire. My truck is a hair under 10k lbs w/o the trailer and ill get 50k out of these tires. They do get rotated at services though. Some guys racking up the miles do NOT. Thats not my business though. My dad has been running coopers on his superdutys. He swears by them. I know how some feel but he is getting 55k out of the two different models he buys. As far as stockish type tires go michelin ltx at, cooper at, michelin ltx m/s (60k towing daily), and I ran some nitto dura grapplers on my lbz way back in the day. Those were pretty darn good too. Not sure if they are around anymore. Im sorry to anyone that likes toyos but I dont appreciate their construction and the sidewalls are too thin for a towing in my usage. I have towed with tires that werent really up to it before and towed on 40s so Im not speculating, way too much sidewall action for me in the toyos. If they work for you, great, but be warned some have had less than stellar experience with them. Again, as a no holds barred, do it all tire in a truck that is maybe more built for sport, lifted or whatever, that still has to be able to get business handled the mickey thompson baja atz is, in my opinion of course, THE best. They did change the tread pattern so I can NOT say for the new tread models but I did get some great feedback from a couple of guys running both models on two identical ram 3500 srw trucks that they used to deliver campers all over the country. They said the performance is great on either but the new ones have more bite offroad. The guy with the older tread pattern had 62k on his and they were getting worn but still useable for another 4-5k. But you cant expect those miles unless you too are hooking up and running straight down the road for 50+k miles a year. Anyway, good luck. If it means anything im not tempted to sway from either the baja atz on my personal rig or the michelin ltx a/t on my new truck which is a dedicated tow rig. [/QUOTE]
