Dom Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I am looking to replace the tire's on my S10.In the past I have and still use cooper's/but I am not to sure I will be buying them again.I purchased a full set of AT/3 and the tread ware is ok but the sidewall's are already splitting.this pair/set is junk.The last set was great and got my moneys worth from them.

WNYBuckHunter Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 What do you do with the truck? is it mostly street use or do you off road with it alot? I just put a new set of tires on my truck. I tow quite a bit and spend a fair amount of time off road with it, so I picked up the BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2. 10 ply, great tread pattern. So far so good, they are awesome in the snow. Cant imagine they will be bad in the mud. Pretty quiet on the street, but my mileage did take a small hit, probably because they are heavy tires. I dont buy off brand or cheapo tires. You get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tires are the one thing i will also not cheap out on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the truck for both on/off road.Cooper tire's used to stand by the product this never happened be for but I guess there is some faulty production.I have the same tires on our jeep and they are still in great shape.I have had BFG's in the past on other trucks they were a good tire but also they seem to dry rot/split/crack even with every day use I did never have any flat's or blow out's with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt_a_KISS Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I bought a full set of cooper's this past year , and there called something else. They are made by the same company just cheaper and also have 50-60k mile warranty on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbuff Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 If Michelin ltx m/s come in your size I am a huge fan. I got 15k miles on a set and they have no wear what so ever. Never was a fan of good years or or bf Goodrich. I like the coopers too but the Michelin are tops. Check out tire rack.com for review's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I have had great luck with Dunlop Rover HTs for on road and basic off road. Great traction in snow too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I only ever buy used tires with 75% tread. Last time I bought 4 tires, installed, with a new steel rim (I slid into a curb on some ice in the winter) all for $205. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dry rotting issue is usually due to tires that have been sitting in a warehouse for years before they get installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 best luck I have had to Traction, wear and minimal road noise are General Grabber AT's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 BTW, for your truck, take a look at the Hankook Dynapro ATMs. I had a set on my truck before I bought the BFGs and they were great tires. My ex has a set on her Durango, and she is on her 4th year with them. She doesnt drive a ton of miles, but those tires are in great shape. Awesome tires for on and off road, as well as winter.

WNYBuckHunter Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Those are nice too Culver. When I put the lift on my truck, Ill probably put 35" Grabbers on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Stick with a good brand name Goodyear, B.F. Goodrich, Firestone, Dunlap…etc……..I have tried the off brands that were way cheaper and supposedly just as good as the name brands. They never were.
