another dually tire ?

[msperos]

I need some tires on my 05' Dually I think I've got it narrowed down to Michelin LTX M/S or Toyo M-55's any thoughts. I'm looking for better wear than the GSA's that came on my truck and good traction.

I've tried them all at this point..... almost 500K on 3 3500 dually's and frankly none of them really impress me...

I'm currently having made some 19. 5" steel wheels... and will mount a Michelin on them for my trucks... . I've ordered 3 sets but at this point am undecided what I'm going to buy... . We also have an F550 ford and we are using a highway rib on the front... get close to 110K miles as a front tire and are using the Bandag retread on the rear... . same tread as UPS trucks... . its an all season tire... . and we're seeing 90K plus miles on those tires...

At this point we've had problems with the 17" dually tires 3 times, all under warranty and had problems being in a small town and getting replacements... from side wall cracking on the Goodyears, to seperation problems on one of the other brands but have had no problems with 19. 5"... .

Hope this helps

Have about 77k on my Michelin LTX M/S's now and they still look pretty new, hauling heavy 80% or more of the time. Was thinking about 19. 5's but a "buddy" with a duralax hasn't fared too well with his set. IF I keep the '03 I'll probably just go the Michelin route again, maybe with a set of Ricksons new 17" wheels.

Well I got the Michelins LTX's. I pull a 16,00lb trailer suring the summer what kind of preasure do you guy's think. i was running 65psi in my Goodyears loaded and 40 psi empty.

I had Mich LTX on my '95 for a VERY long time... great tires. When my stock tires on the 06 wear out you can bet I'll be buying more LTX'rs to replace them.

I run 70-75 PSI all the time.

You can all laugh if you want, but I run MasterCraft. I get 80,000+ out of the A/T and C/T. I'm curently running the HTR and expect 100,000 or better. I get them for $800 a set of 6. I'll go back to the A/T this fall.



On edit ... ... . I rotate less then prescribed, maybe 15,000 miles instead of 5,000 miles, and the rears wear faster than the fronts.
