Street tread tire for duallys

[Gonzo 1066]

Is there some choices for a street tread tire for my 04 dually? The Generals seem to work well but I would like to save them for winter use and go with a summer high milage design the rest of the year. Michellen does not have a tire that fite the bill yet.

Toyo HT is coming. I have a set arriving next week.

Same size as the factory tire, E rated... HT stands for Highway Tread.

Try the Firestone Transforce HT. This replaced the old Steeltex line, and is a semi-rib design. Available in the factory size of LT235/80R17E.

Thanks for the infromation. Seems my local dealer was right. The selection of pure highway tred is nill.

Great post KC. You wouldn't happen to have the same info for the SRW would you?

Unfortunately no... at least, not yet. I had been tracking the more bizarre dually size in anticipation of my 05.

 

[gsbrockman]

Mastercraft Courser HTR's are also a nice choice.

The Cooper H/T is a nice road tire. They do surprisingly well in snow and mud. Excelent wear. I was getting about 5-6k/ 1/32 of tread depth. Running Cooper S/T's right now. Will probably get Coopers again. Great tires.

What about the factory tires on 2005 ford I think they are BFgoodrich Rugged trail 265-R75-17 they are e rated.

 

[mberry]

SGBARRACUDA, yes they are. They are the same one's that come on our trucks. Doesn't help me much. I don't want the same Michelin's and definitely don't want the BFG's.



bmoeller,



I laugh every time I read the line in your sig. I can just picture Jabba the Hut in those shorts with a mail bag! LOL.
