I have a Dodge Ram 3/4 ton Diesel. I only use it to go hunting and to pull my boat. I am to a point where I need new tires. Any suggestions on a good all terrain tire.

Toyo M55s ordered from Discount Tire. Commercial grade traction tire.

You'll save 25% over buying them at Les Schwab.

Thanks Sunday, I googled them and they very nice but kind of spendy. I should also add that I olnly drive my truck about 2,000 miles a year. I am looking for someting around 200 bucks a tire. Im affraid my tires will go bad from sitting around before I get my moneys worth out of them.

Coopers, or just buy some used tires for $50 each. Did that for many years while I was poorer than I am now.

Retreads. Back when I was a poster child for the poor, I bought an entire set of retreads, complete with bubble balancing, for $50. That would be the same year I had two flat tires on opening day of hunting season. Do they even make retreads for light trucks and autos these days?

huntncoug, What size are you looking for? Lots of used tires on craigslist. Whole sets including some with rims, too.

Check your local tire dealers for new vehicle take offs.If they do any business with new car dealers they should have some available.It all depends of the size of tire your looking for.It will save you about 50% on tires with less than 50 miles on them.

Spent $600 total to get them shipped and to have them mounted.

check their ratings compared to others

I can't afford Les Schwab anymore

Go to a junk yard and pull some wheels of an old wreck if your just looking for junky shitty tires to put on a hunting beater rig.

Cost you about $25.

Just put some new Bridgestone AT Revo's on my F150, not cheap (800.00) but I really like them. YMMV

Sure, that'll work, we all know that guiding is a great way to make tons of money!!

You know how to make a small fortune guiding? Start with a large fortune.

I have been running Cooper Discoverer STT's for a while now, and they rock. Cooper = big thumbs up.
