Dually Truck Tires and Heavy Towing.....Tire Choices You Like Best..

[xrated]

So I'm getting ready to replace the tires on my 2016 F350 Dually 4x4 in then next couple of months and I'm looking for experienced answers for tire selection. I'll start off with saying that I've been looking at the Cooper AT3 tires and a lot of what I read about them are positive. So my question is....what have you guys used that you would buy again...or stay away from based on your experience with them.

I really like to have responses that relate specifically to my setup.....4x4 Dually and towing heavy. My trailer is a 20K GVWR Momentum, so towing a 10K trailer with an F250 will probably not really answer my question.....Thanks in advance and let me know.

I've always liked Michelin tires and since my last F-350 DRW came with them, that is what I would have replaced them with - OEM Michelins.

I looked at the Michelin LTX for the truck and read a lot of reviews....and they are all over the place. It seems if you are towing heavy like I am, they don't get great wear....and even more disturbing is I saw several folks talk about how sketchy they were in the wet and or a little slippery/muddy area. So they are somewhat on the back burner for my application.

Did you ever wonder why a car/truck manufacture would put the most expensive tire on their vehicles if there were cheaper/better tires out there when all their worried about is profit and share holder value? The bad reviews are hooey from people that are just whiners. You put weight on any tire it won`t get the mileage they claim.
I`ve had Michelin tires on every vehicle I've owned and have never experienced the problems they claim. My dually came with Michelin's and have 34,000 on them and they measure 1/2 worn out to the wear indicators, good enough for me. Cooper....who`s Cooper how many people put Cooper`s on a heavy tow vehicle, maybe on Grandma`s car or an F150.
Anyway, every body knows a better way. Have a good summer. I know I will, leaving for Myrtle Beach today for 2 weeks then on to Branson for the shows.

Re-read first sentence over and over while staring into a mirrow, you`ll come around.

Who's Cooper.........Oh, I don't know, just some company that's been around since 1914......that's 107 years, just in case your math skills are as lacking as your knowledge of tires. And I was also kind of curious about your reply..."The bad reviews are hooey from people that are just whiners". Did you talk to all those folks and make an assessment based on your conversation with them?....or is your reply maybe just a bunch of "hooey"? And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that tires that are used for heavy towing won't normally get the same mileage as tires that are NOT used for towing....so thanks for that bit of info.

I`ll stick with the hundreds of engineers that work for the best selling tire company and the hundreds of engineers that work for car companys that spec tires for the thousands and thousands of cars they sell every year over someone that`s stuck in the past and can`t move forward and just has an opinion like what`s the best oil to use.

Me too, I have always bought Michelins unless they were not available for the vehicle.

I fully intend to replace the Michelins on my F350 with a new set of Michelins when the time comes.

One of the reasons i chose my F350 was because it had Michelin tires on it from the factory. I really like the ride of our truck and I attribute 80% of it to the Michelin tires.

I've had both good and bad results with Michelin on different vehicles. On my 2018 F-350 CC Diesel dually, I am saying good luck. I have about 35K on the originals by rotating them from rear to front. 15K intervals since it involves dismount/mount. I am expecting 45k out of the set which from what I was told by others , will be about 15K past what is normal.

I put Goodyear Duratracs on my truck about a year before I sold it. Those tires handled loaded and unloaded use fairly well. I liked them a lot for when we would go on forest or BLM land. They arent cheap, about $250 each. I'd say my setup was very close to yours. It was a huge difference over the stock BF Goodrichs.

2016 F350 DRW, LB, CC, 4WD
Momentum 399 usually loaded very heavy

I had those on my last truck and really loved them. They met all my expectations except they're were a little on the noisy side on dry pavement at higher speeds. Great thread wear and traction.
