Smile Best tire ride and longevity

I will need new tires next year on 2003 SuperCrew. What tires are the best riding? Which will last the longest? Currently have Michelin. No mudding, just highway miles.

Speaking from experience, you can easily get 60,000 miles out of BFG AT KO's and Bridgestone Dueler AT's.

I've gotten over 90k out of 2 sets of Michelin LTX A/T's unfortunately they are only available in a very limited number of sizes and may now only be left overs with the new AT2's on the market.

Many people I know have commented the LTX A/T's wear like granite.

x2 on the BFG A/T's. Lots of available sizes available and a great all around tire.

For the type of highway driving you do I say stick with the Michelins. I have the LTX MS and they are excellent for highway. I only have 10k on them but have heard of peeps getting up to 80k out of them. Ride nice and excellent wet traction. Pricey but you are gonna get excellent wear out of them so they are wor it.

Talking agree

BFG AT KO's, have around 25K on them(17's) on my 02' and they look like new, honest.....I do rotate every 5k miles tho, spare included.
I'm putting them(285/65/18) on my new 08' FX4 and selling the stock tire GY Wrangler AT/S.
The BFG AT KO's seem to track straighter than any tire I've ever used, anyone else notice that?

I am very happy so far with my Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors. Great all terrain tire with excellent off road traction especially in snow and supprisingly quiet on the highway for a true all terrain. As far as tread wear, only 6k on the tires so far, but so far so good.
