Tv tires - lt235/80r17

It's that time again - TV needs tires. Been running Agilis Michelin tires with just over 50k miles. Just over $2k quote. Might be a can of worms but I thought I'd ask.

The Michelin is a great tire. Two other considerations would be a Continental Terrain Contact H/T and the Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse H/T.

PS. - is this a dually? With your quote of $2k I am hoping it is for 6 tires. To me, $2k for 4 appears very expensive

I've been running the Firestone Transforce AT2. I was hesitant when the tire dealer I use suggested these, but am on my second set and they seem to be a good tire with no issues. In your size, anywhere from $200 to $250 per tire.

We just put another set of Michelin tires on the DRW 3500 chevy. Very satisfied with the performance. Previous 3500 had 3 sets on it with only one issue in 2012 when a chunk of tread came off, they replaced both front tires free.
Earlier this year only paid total for 6 $1710.23 at discount tire with road hazard coverage. Shop around...

The michlien ltx at2 , the one that comes stock on some gm and ford trucks will give you better service than the agelis it is an all around better tire.

Well don't keep us in suspense! What flavor did you decide upon?

I put a set of Bridgestone Duravis R500 HD on our steer axle after getting a front end alignment. Never ran those before but are supposedly a commercial tire. We'll see. Drive axle tires were still good.

Agilis Michelin tires - used them once (same set on two trucks) - Discount Tire - rotations included. got almost 50K out of first set. Come look at them at the Rally.

I put Michelin Defenders LTX 245-75-R17E on the truck from Discount Tire because they did not have my OEMs in stock.
I replaced the OEM Michelins at 62k miles. 7000 miles on them so far.

Will definitely check out the Michelins while at the rally.

I assume you folks from your neck of the woods will be heading up via DFW and OKC?
