Tires Toyo or GENERAL TIRE
The Toyo g3 will deliver the best traction. It has a microbit silica rubber compound containing ground up walnut shell for extra biting edge. Much more tech advanced than the entry level snows from brands like sumitomo and cooper.
I also run General Tires Grabber HTS60 for the Summer, as these were highly rated by Consumer Reports (which I use religiously), and I mostly pull an RV trailer (5,500 lbs) on the highway. They too have been great.
Not sure if you can get them in size, but I rate Toyo R888Rs. Great track tyre, but scary in the wet.
I got a set for my Duramax about 7 years ago and it is hard to tell they aren't brand new. I liked them so much I got a second identical set for the same truck... with studs for winter driving. They have decent but not massively aggressive tread for mild offroad adventures and they ride considerably smoother and quieter than the off brand (Les Schwab) tires they replaced. They aren't cheap unless you figure the cost per mile then they are an incredibly great deal! They also have a better weight rating than most non-commercial tires.
We have Toyo Open Country AT3 tires on our vehicle. Good tires, not as loud as dedicated snow tires. We keep them on year round.
Toyo AT3s
Toyo RT Trails
Toyo MTs
Ran em all, all good tires! The RT Trails lasted.longer on myn1500 than my 2500HD. MTs were my favorite all-around.for looks and performance on my 2500HD. But if you want the best all.season and tread, life go with the AT3s.....Hard to beat Toyos.
The Cooper Discoverer AT3 was on my '06 2500 (before I sold it) and they were great. Rotations at 10k and lots of traction, but also really good life. Great in the snow and mud.
The Toyo Open Country AT are what are on my '08 3500. Solid tire, definitely needs rotations at 10k, lots of traction with fantastic life. Not anywhere as good in the mud as the Discoverer, but in the snow they were about 85% of what the Cooper tires would do.
I just ordered a set of tires + rims from Quattro Tire.
This is probably the 8th order from them over the years. Shipping takes about a week, arrives via courier to your door.
I got just under 30k before changing. There was still maybe 5k of tread left to the wear bars on the worst one but I was going on a long trip and wanted new tires for it.
I really don't think these tires are great for either mileage or handling. In fact, the only thing they seemed good for is a comfortable, somewhat quiet ride.
horrible in slush, snow, rain or gravel....will replace mine asap
