What tires should I get ?

Just got these a week ago. Love them. Nice ride, quiet and look pretty good too...

 

I run Masterctaft Courser MTX.
IMO, great tire, traction. Only problem is they are directional, so buy a 5th and rotate them often.

 

Have the KO2's fallen out of favor? I've had a set on for about 10k miles and the postives are they are good in dry/loose off road conditions and the tread-life is holding up. The negatives for me are road noise and they are priced at a premium compared to many alternatives. My prior set was Toyo AT IIs which were quiet and very good highway tires. I got about 55k miles out of 'em which was ok.

The K02s have been noticeably better in the snow compared to the Toyos which is only a shoulder season issue for me because I have an extra set of wheels with studded Hankook Pikes.

Happy shoping.

 

First you’ve gone through 4 sets of tires in 9 years and are looking for a fifth set currently ? You must either drive a zillion miles a year or there is something totally screwed up with your suspension. What’s up with using up all those tires?
Second what kind of driving do you do and what do you want from the tires? Without knowing that people can’t really make any realistic suggestions. You’ll find that most of the suggestions here are based on what people have on their truck. The only reason given generally is get this or that tire cause that is what I have.
So what are you looking for in a tire? Do you mostly do highway driving? Do you off road, gravel roads, rocky back country roads? Rain, snow, ice, mud? Do want tires that are fairly quiet on the road or aggressive knarly tires that roar like a freight train coming down the tracks? Do you just want tires that look “cool”? Let us know what your needs are so we can make some suggestions based on needs and wants rather than get this tire cause it’s what “I” have
And lastly have a shop expert in suspension check out your truck suspension before getting a fifth set of tires.

 

Nice
Yeah my Mickey Thompsons are very quiet to and smooth. I was suprised with how aggressive they look and well they work off road on the loose stuff. No pun intended but there a well rounded tire

 

In all seriousness if OP is keeping truck at stock height then max size would be 31” 265 70 17 and could consider an AT or Michelin LTX

and factor in use and weather location
I’ve heard mixed things about Duratrac

KO2 seems to by hype with others like WildPeak better in cold

and regarding alignment it should be done properly and held in place
The stock parts are weak and can get thrown out of alignment but that depends on how the truck is used

ie stock LCA mounts without Marlin Gusset, TC tabs, welding reinforcement, Pivots kit, etc but big shocks and whatnot wheeling hard doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense

shocks probably worn out by now contributing to irregular tire wear

 

Agreed,
And yes absolutely 265’s are perfect for stock ride height and I wouldn’t go any bigger either.

 

Thanks Brother

 

I did get some bilstein 5100’s for shocks and struts ! I do enjoy my kenda klevers but yeah I am not the best at rotating my tires when I’m suppose to , I travel a lot so my oil changes are really once a month that’s how much I travel. I’ll put the new shocks and struts on and maybe think about switching to a A/T tire instead of R/T tire and get an alignment and see how it goes ! Thank you for everyone’s help !

 

Great choice with the 5100’s I love mine.
Sounds like you do more street then off road since you travel a lot I’m assuming of course
But if that’s the case I would definitely try to pick a tire that’s more street friendly .
I wish you the best with your choice and keep us updated
