Need new tires

[Topzide]

Proper air and rotations prolong tire life! Tire pressures are the most overlooked item as far as maintenance. It seems the rubber compound that some tire manufactures have, will run circles around others as far as wear and ride! @Regen, they look great for the road time!

The picture could be a little deceiving these tires have no more than 10,000 miles left in them but that’ll give me 72,000 so I am well pleased

Just turned 90k. Put on a set of Michelin LTX’s at 28,000 mile. i still have at least another 10k left on them. Best tires I’ve ever owned. That’ll be 72,000 miles with a ton of towing and off road mileage. Pretty impressed myself.

Rotated every 10k and run 65lbs air.

That is impressive, but how do they do on slick surfaces? Seems like they are probably hockey puck hard.

They do fine. Never had any issues. Spend a lot of time on ranch roads and bad county roads.

How about wet roads and snow?

They do fine in the rain. I run hot shot so I’ve run them in everything but snow. I haven’t seen snow in years. Don’t get much in south Texas.

I envy you. -- No snow...

I bought a brand new set of Bridgestone Blizzaks for my EcoD. We had a couple inches of snow the other day and no need for 4x4.

The work truck has all seasons and I needed 4x4. Amazing how much difference tires can make.

Snow and ice are what I would be concerned with.

I must say Bridgestone Blizzak are just an awesome winter tire with proper air in and some weight in the back behind the axle. No studs are ever needed . But you can’t run them in the summer. To soft and you wear them out so you need a spare set of rims. Studded tires are very popular here But they sure tear up our asphalt roads in a big hurry leaving two ruts down the road that fill with water in the summer Most studded tire people put them on to soon and leave them on to late and they get wore out too fast. 76 inches of snow so far in Anchorage and winter starts today. I put two 60 lbs gravel bags in my wife Lexus and even with stock tires it does very well in the snow.

I put them on in my area last week in October and take them off 1st week of April.

I got them mounted to another set of OEM rims.

Been addicted to the Blizzaks since my police buddies swore by them.

They put down a fair amount of gravel at intersections ,round a bouts corners etc. Blizzacs pick up a lot of gravel in the sippings

They oil and gravel the roads where I live, until I get into the main town/city limits. Even then, they've done it there too before.

I've always noticed they pick up those little stones and even small chunks of salt easily. I guess it's a trade off. But when they come out at highway speeds, depending on where they hit on the wheel liner, it makes a racket.

When we had ice the other day, my truck was like a tank. No 4x4 needed. It was a beautiful thing.

Reminds me of my 2002 2500, I had winter studded Cooper Discoverer studded tires. That thing could almost climb a tree during the winter, even though it wasn't 4x4. However due to the weight and what it did to my driveway, I don't want studs again on a truck.

Just got some off-road experience with the Nitto Recon Grapplers. Took the kids up shooting yesterday and the “road” to get up there was steep, rutted, snow packed, and uphill. Put the truck in 4 high and crawled up with no slipping. Overall very impressed.

Yes. 65lbs. View attachment 139414

I have to agree with the choice of these tires.
these are what I'm currently running. and with the snow currently in az, they are doing great. no issues in rain, snow ice covered roads. I'm def a fan. I only have about 25K on mine and they show little to no signs of wear. I run 55f/r. If I get 60-70K form them they will be my new goto from the ko2's I'm used to running.
