New tires for the DRW

[Dasmoeturhead]

Got some new tires. The Nexans went 47,800 miles. I didn't have any problems with then, but I needed more traction in snow,grass, clay/mud. I also went with the stock size, because I like the rpms at 60 mph just fine. Didn't want to have to recalibrate, or buy anything else to correct Speedo, plus I didn't need to buy 7 tires. Good rich at's KO2 In 235-80r-17. I know there not cool, and don't fill up the wheel wells, bit I ain't here to impress anybody. So far I'm liking them. Here's some bad cell phone pictures.

I have the BFG KOA AT on my 2016 Dually. So far with about 11,000 miles on them. Been loving them.

Surprised you made it that far with the NEXEN's. I dumped mine at 200 miles and went with the MS2's.

Are those "E" rated tires? How much louder are they over stock?

Yes E rated. I can hear them a bit in the rear. By no means would I consider them loud.

Have them on my 07, 35k, probably get another 15k out of them. Good multi purpose tire.

Those look nice! I considered those as well but ended up going with the Cooper AT3's. I swapped out my Nexen's at 40k, but really they had almost 10k more in them had the PO gotten the front alignment figured out (too much toe in stock specs).

That's some good news. I like them so far. I don't even hear them on the highway unless I have my rear window open, and then its barely noticeable. I haven't had to use 4wd to get up my drive since I installed them.

This is the 2nd set I had of the BFG ATs, use the truck daily for work, on construction sites and pulling trailers, I am happy with them, I think they are quite, good in snow, sand, wet pavement; My truck gets alot of use on ****ty sites, always getting out. Way better than the Generals that came with the truck. I get them from the local COSTCO, free rotations/balance.

BFG's AT's are awesome. Until I bought my 2015, that is all I used. You can't find a better tire for snow (at least that is available in truck sizes). Unfortunately they don't make the size I want for this truck, so I may have to stick with Toyo's.

I got the same type of deal through Sams Club. No Costco in these parts. The rotation for life sold me.
