Toyo open country a/t on my f250 4x4. They have 40,000 miles on them with a bit over 10,000 towing. I will replace them before winter with the same tire.

Wonder how does that tire do? Snow? Off road? I'm debating on that tire or Michelin M/S or KO2

I have only had these tires on for several months. Trip down to Mesa Az on dry pavement, so don't have an opinion on them yet. About 1500 miles, but seem to be OK so far. Much cheaper than Michelin tires of same size. Got them at Costco with $70 off and almost free mounting and balancing. Price was my main concern.

Haven't had the tires long enough or driven in snow. Only about 1500 miles down I-5 to Arizona on dry pavement. Price was the main concern. Michelin just too expensive. Costco $70 off price and very cheap mounting and balancing.

4X4 come with A/T. Now, if you were not going to be taking the truck off road. Would you replace with A/T's or switch to a Highway tire ? When new tires are needed.

Bridgestone Dueler (front passenger) with less than 24k miles blew out on our Ram three days ago. Michelin LTX MS2 (Costco) all around now.

russell your question on tires: any 'E' rated tire will be fine for towing. you'll have to decide what you prefer. some or noiser than others. we just do highway tires since we never see snow. go to tire rack or simple tire to see what is out there.

I run Continental Terraine Contact tires and have had no issues. They are a good 60000 mile tire.I run 20" tires and they were about $250 per in 2016. Still going strong.

Beware of Costco Michelins as they are not always made by Michelin. FWIW, my tire guy whom I trust does not recommend Coopers and his shop is a Cooper dealer.

Michelin man for 30 years. 200000 + miles on current truck towing through 49 states. Never a problem with Michelins. Can’t say same for fifth wheel rubber.
