Firestone Transforce

[Turbo Terry]

Much discussed. At 12 k they are showing signs of wear. My hope is they will make it thru the winter and all summer till next winter. Hopefully 20 k if I’m lucky. Then I will replace with Coopers AT3 or LT that’s were I need advice. I don’t use the truck for 4 wheeling. A little gravel road use and haul heavy. Which tire do you recommended for my use.

 

[Turbo Terry]

Oh and winter snow and ice forgot that part. Empty no camper

 

[Topzide]

So far, 30K + on them. Mainly highway and a bit gravel use. Picked up some Laufenn all seasons to be going on this Christmas. Figured for the $, 60K warranty and tread pattern, I'd give them a try. I've not had any issues with the Transforce tires. The were on the truck when I got it at 130K. Replace 2 shortly after getting truck and 165K on the clock now. 4/32 on 2 of them now, hence the upcoming replacement!

 

[Turbo Terry]

Sounds like you had good luck with them

 

[Topzide]

Been running 60/50 in them. Have done okay with the snow that they encountered. That's were 4wd pays for itself! Told the DW that I'd always have a 4wd truck for those just in case needs!

I running 50/40. Now empty 200 lbs tool box and 300 lbs sand bags behind the rear wheels. . They do ok in the snow My truck has been driven mostly on all weather roads which means asphalt with gravel in it. It’s also called chip I seal 3 f in Anchorage this morning. I will buy coopers next time.

50 in dually front tires? Even with a SRW 50 is to low in front.

Chip seal is sponsored by windshield companies.

I put my winter tires/wheels on about a month ago so I haven't ran the new Transfore AT's in winter yet, but the ones I bought to trade in on my '18 were useless at 30% tread on anything by dry pavement. They were as hard as a Wendy's burger patty in 2000.

He has a SRW. I don't think the Transforce is even offered as a DRW tire.

50 is not too low for a SRW, especially a reg cab, when empty. 50 psi would support a FAW of 5,360lbs. My CCLB is ±5,200lbs empty and I don't hesitate to run 50 psi up front, especially in the winter. On a reg cab I'd probably run lower.

My TransForce tires on my SRW are about done at only 25k miles, they will not be replaced with more.

RAM used to put long lasting tires on their trucks. 120k on 3rd gen Michelin take offs and 100k with the BFG's.

 

[dpotter]

My 2017 made it 22k before the Firestone's were worn out, my 2022 has 10k and I don't see these lasting any longer. Maybe they should put better tires on, I would be willing to pay a little more for the truck in that case.

I've got 17,400 miles on my 21 2500 ctd, and I've towed my 5th wheel from TN to Nor-cal twice this year and have had zero problems with the Transforce tires. Plenty of tread left.

 

[BigPapa]

I've never had good service out of the Transforce HT's. Less than 30K on two sets, mostly running empty. Even wear on all four.

When I sold the HT's that came on my '18 they were at less than 50% tread with 10K miles on them.

 

[Dasmoeturhead]

I'll probably get 30k out of them. That's all I expect or less from OE tires. It ain't right, but that's the world we live in.

I've been cross country once, but I think 30 is stretching it, mine look like they'd make it a little more but winters coming. Disappointed as I religiously maintain my vehicles. My OEM BFGs on the 04 went much farther as an OEM tire for that truck. My Nittos went much longer with good traction and lower wear

52,000 on our trans force ht, so far .
Must be the AT’s that don’t go the distance
When the time comes either Nokian’s or Michelin for us

Not always, like I mentioned above my HT's were less than 50% tread at 10K miles.

 

[bcbender]

My ATs are going quickly... I blame it on the 1000lbft.
