    Tires

    I just put a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers on my truck,and have too say they are the best ridin tires ive ever had on a truck.If yur looking too get new tires they are worth a look.A little pricey but I think worth it.

    Have you ever tried BFG AT KO All Terrians ? Those are smoooth tires too. The Nitto's seem to wear pretty quick per the guys I know who've run em'.

    I recently bought a set of the BFG KM2's 35 x 12.5 on my F350 4x4,,,,,,,as spendy as they were they did not last for squat... I went back to a new set of the AT KO's again,,, 72k mile tire on my heavy truck.

    Nothing beats T/A KO's in the deep fluffy snow we get in the winter, they are also good on ice till about 1/2 worn. Not the best in mud. Will need to replace mine this winter down to 4/32 after 85,000 miles.

    I get great life out of Goodyear AT/S LT305/70/16 on my 95 Z71. First set I replaced at 55K and still had good tread left, at 50K miles they got a little bit slippery in the rain so I replaced them at 55K even though I could have got another 5-10K out of them. I'm on my second set and they are wearing great as well. Just make sure ya get the LT's.

    I bought my Titan truck new, its a "No Fear Edition" which is factory lifted with M/T beadlock wheels and 35" Pro Comp A/T tyres. Its done 28k miles and the tyres are about done, but I have not been gentle on these tyres. The truck drives and handels like a car, they are awesome tyres but $$$. Only problem is that they are one way rotation so you cant swap from side to side, yours are probably the same. If I drove the truck normally I bet I could get 35k miles on a set.

    Does not matter what tire if you have a Diesel thats chipped, exhaust, etc, tires are not going to last if you have a heavy foot.
