Truck tires

[Talyn]

Like I said....

Michelin's for the summer.
Bridgestone for the winter

I don't run summer tires in the winter since I live in mountainous snow country, and my Bridgestone's are Blizzaks. Great winter tire.

That's what i used to think.

I learned the hard way that they're China-bombs now.

No they're not.

I get years of use & great performance on my summer Michelin's.

If you're having issues proper installation and pressure (45 psi for me) is required.

I like Mastercraft 10 ply tires.
That's what I have on my truck.

Arguing tires is a futile effort, because everyone has his/her favorite for various reasons. I'm still of the old school to buy American when/if possible and that brings me back to Goodyear and/or Coopers. The Coopers are my personal favorite on my 2014 1500 Silverado. I've used Coopers of various sizes for many years and never felt I had a bad deal. BTW, it can certainly be argued that many brands are made in America, but generally the Goodyear and Coopers are the only ones verified. I'm not certain of all the requirements, but a tire manufactured in the USA is not always considered an American tire. There are many brands making a good quality tire, so find the one that meets your expectations and spend your money, hoping to get what you're expecting. BTW, for many years I used BF Goodrich on my 34' Bounder motor home. I had great service life and ride quality from them at about 3/4 the cost of the Michelins.

I'm researching all except Goodyear and Michelin. Got 32k out of my last Goodyear ATs.

Hmm. I had 55k on the Goodyear Wranglers we replaced and i only repaced them because we were going to the snow. I bought another set.

Tires for the truck cost more than my first brand new car did. The whole car.

45 psi in a car tire ? Thanks for the recommendation....

I do understand tire pressures. I did alot of racing in spec tire classes (TP guages with 1/4 increments with durometer post-race tech checks) , but my Michelins were street tires. Bought my first set fifty years ago. I was happy with them for years. Then the sidewalls started cracking and TPs were 30-35 psi. My first Michelin truck tires (no, not 30-35 psi)were great until the right-front tire blew on the freeway while i was towing a trailer. (I'd checked all eight tires in the morning).

I'm not going to give Michelin another chance to kill my family.
