    Hey there i was wondering if i can get some suggestions on some tires. I mainly drive on the street. Daily commuter to work, run errands and back home. Dont go off-roading anymore. Once in a while drive to local san bernandino lakes. Thinking about the Goodyear Wrangler Trail Runner AT ? Currently have MT tires.

    I bought some kumho cragen ht51 becaus eof the price and reviews. They ride nice and quiet on the fwy. They are supposed to be good on light offroad and snow but I dont see that in this trucks future.
    The treadwear is 720 I think so they should last

    I did some serious research into those Kumho crugen ht51 most all reviews have high marks and they have a copied tread from the Michelin LTX MS tire, only issue ive read about Kumho tires is treads serperating on a few of their tires both car and light truck this bothered me or I would probably get them for the price and reviews were A+ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdR-cxa3Dc0

    I’d just get a passenger tire honestly.

    No need for an all terrain.

    Pathfinder sport At from discount tire direct. I ran a set on my wife’s highlander and have 55k on them and should get another 5-10k. They ran a special for 4th of July and I went ahead and purchased 4 more of the same tires in anticipation of these wearing out. I paid <300$ for the entire set with free replacement certificates and free shipping to my door. These tires have impressed the hell out of me for the price. I run KO2’s on my gen 1, but man for the price the pathfinders are great!

    Doubtful, I can check today. I think they are made by Kumho exclusively for discount tire.

    I just bought some Kelly Edge AT's for my work truck. Good price, 50k rated and made in USA. So far I like them, but haven't had them long. BTW Kelly is owned and sold by Goodyear.

    Don't look further.... base on your driving habits x2 the answer is michelin defenders..... about 180 each but long life and good for freeway... what I like on this brand is 3 years of road assistance in case of flats ! worth the money.:thumbsup:
