Green grass and high tides |
So I am going to have to bit the bullet and get some new skins for the Dodge 3/4 Turbo diesel. It is a gen 2. I just looked at Costco and surprisingly they have the Bridgestone Duravis HD700 in my size. I had them on a Suburban years ago. Wore like iron. One of the best tires I have ever owned. About $1K. They also have the BFG TA K3 and the Firestone Destination X/T. Both of them look good as well. All about the same price after discounts. I am leaning towards the Duravis but do know if and how much they have changed it. I think the BFG is good too. But I worry about it wearing fast on hot summer runs. The Firestone is the wildcard. I like it. Seems like it has good reviews as well. Thoughts on what you would buy. Mostly highway. Some gravel and a small percentage will be off road.

Knowing a thing or two about a thing or two |
Have no experience on your 3 choices but All I have used on my last 2 Ram 08 & 14 2500 6.7L are Michelin LTX AT2 https://www.michelinman.com/au...es/michelin-ltx-a-t2 They go the 60,000 with proper alignment and on current truck (14 2500 6.7) I rotate at 15,000 when I do my oil change. The tread looks great. I used the Thuren Fab alignment specs. They work. My truck is stock. Took sheet to shop where I get my tires and gave it to them and asked them to do it. No problems. Note you have confirm you have a solid tie rod VS. a Y type for these specs to work. It says that on the sheet but don't remember what year your truck was from previous posts. https://ddpmotorsports.com/fil...+Alignment+Specs.pdf P226 NSWG P220 W. German P239 SAS gen2 P6 1980 W.

I’ve been happy with Bridgestones on my Ram 1500 over the years though I have never worn that model. 0:01 | |||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
I've always used Michelin's but I've heard good things from people I know in the business about the Bridgestones. I may try them next time, especially if there is a big cost difference. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

No michelins for me. Been disappointed enough. Too many other good tires to get hoodwinked again. The Duravis 700HD where such a great tire I am leaning that way. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

I'm a big fan of the Goodyear Duratrac. I've had them on 2 Jeeps and other family member's pick ups. Got great mileage out of them and kept their performance throughout their wear. | |||

I went through 3 sets of Michelin LTX on my 3/4T Ford. Quietest, smoothest riding tires I ever ran on a truck. 60,800 miles, average. | |||

I put Cooper on my truck when I first got it in ‘14. Mine is a ‘95 Ram 2500, manual trans, diesel, 2WD. I honestly got 90k miles before replacing them. You have a very good truck. Mine is currently at 201k. Expecting to get to 300k without too much trouble. | |||
