Went through the Mission tire blow out ($4,700 in damage to the Mountaineer), received $370 in reimbursement for the tires after about 4 months of constant contact with them (terril@tireco.com). Never received reimbursement for my $500 deductible though. Better than nothing.

SECOND SUBJECT: Need to get new tires for the Dodge 2500. Thinking about the Firestone's or Bridgestones (LT category).

Any comments/suggestions, other than Goodyear or Michelins??

Thanks,

I just went through the tire buying process. The STs have higher ratings, but are ALL (that I could find) made in China. Got a set of LT 235/85R16 Bridgestone Duravis 500s...a bit less in the rating department, but a whole lot better as far as reliability goes.
The Goodyear G614 tires are ST's and made in the USA. 3750lbs at 110psi is more than enough for any Montana or Big Sky.

We went with the BFG Commercial T/A's recently based on a lot of good info found here and confirmed by my local tire guy. We have had lots of experience with the BFGs on many previous trucks and based on that experience was always leaning to them. My tire guy says we will be just fine within our weights as long as we keep them aired up to the 80psi which we do and have the Pressure Pro system to monitor as well. We are running 14000 lbs fully loaded with 2800 lbs of pin weight on our 3400.
