I know there’s been several tire threads in here in the past...I’ve got to put a new set of tires on my 06 3/4 ton and wanted to know y’all’s opinion.

I use this truck for hunting trapping and farming. So I want something aggressive to keep from getting stuck but I also don’t want tires that the gravel will wear out in a year. When we do tree work I also pull a dump trailer or a tractor with it.

During the winter months here in MN I've been running Nitto Terra Grapplers. This is my third year on this set and they should easily make another winter after this one. They are a great tire in snow and ice. Plus, they really seem to wear well. I switch over to summer tires about April.


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Nexen Roadian MTX are what I run on my trucks aggressive but they work, this set is going on 2nd years now I’m very happy with them. You cannot always get traction, less wear and quiet out of the same tires.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

BFG AT KO2's. Just replaced a set that had almost 60,000 on them. Used for Hunting,Trapping,Fishing, Pulling Boats/Camper, plus I have to drive an hour to work before roads are plowed in the winter. They've never failed or faltered. Downside is they are pricey.

I've had Cooper summer tires. They were a good tire and wore well.

I've run them on several trucks and have had great results.

When I bought my truck they had BF Goodrich KO2’s on and I really liked them. Put 95,000kms on them and just bought a new set last week.
I do a lot of hiway driving, gravel roads, back country travel, snow, and drive on the ice for ice fishing and feel very confident with these tires on.


Cold as ice!

I'm a couple years into a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3W on my 1/2 ton Chevy and really like everything about them so far. Been seeing lots around the area, even on some law enforcement vehicles. Happy trapping! ScottW

Definitely 10 ply that is all I’ve ever put on a truck.

I like the looks of those BFG’s, and looks like several of you guys like them as well!

I've used ten ply tires all of my life on my trucks. Just put on a set of twelve ply's the brand is Terra Trooper. We'll see how they stand up on these rough dirt and rocky roads I live and work on.
