What are your most recommended tire brands?

Tires,oil, batteries, there are a zillion threads on Tw concerning them. All of them boil down to the same thing - use this brand or type because it’s what I use. All of them are equally useless. You’ll see.

 

The first known use of the word zillion is in 1934. A derivation of zillion is zillionaire. Zillionaire refers to a particularly wealthy individual. Another take on the word zillion is gazillion. Gazillion is also used to refer to an indeterminately large number. However, in addition to referencing a particularly large number, gazillion is most often used with at least a hint of jocularity. The most common misconception associated with zillion is that it follows trillion in the order of numbers.

I agree, there's a lot of threads

 

My old man's tires were really only tires in the academic sense. They were round, they had once been made of rubber....

 

This! So true! Excellent tires, for me.

I bought them highly recommended by many on this very forum. They performed well in all kinds of situations and wore very slowly and evenly. Not sure what others expect out of tires.

 

My Duramax had KO2's on it when I bought it, I kept them rotated and had the front end aligned shortly after buying it and they still wore funny and fast. No more for me.

 

Full size HD and a Tacoma or 4runner are a bit different. Rotated mine every 5K and they looked new after 29K miles. I sold them to a friend when I went to 285's. They still had 80% of the original tread depth.

 

A zillion is a huge but nonspecific number. ... Zillion sounds like an actual number because of its similarity to billion, million, and trillion, and it is modeled on these real numerical values. However, like its cousin jillion, zillion is an informal way to talk about a number that's enormous but indefinite.

 

I've run A LOT of different tires. Dura Tracs, Coopers, Wranglers of various types, Firestones, BFGs. I have to say the newest ones I'm trying may be the end all for a Goldilocks tire. The NEW Pirelli Scorpion. Time will tell and I said that about my last Cooper AT3s. But they are absolutely promising.

 

Cool, thats why I asked!

 

I have had consistent reliability, performance, durability with Toyo tires from T1R, Open Country, and Observe models on very different vehicles over the last 20 years.
I use BFG K02 tires on my K3500SRW GMC pickup for plowing and they do well. Shredded Nokian Haka studded winters in two seasons of plowing, won't do that again.
My wife's TJ Wrangler rolls in 1st gen MTR in the summer and Hankook IPike winters with no problems. Puts about 1500 miles on it a year.

Crappy tires I had were:
1990 era Barum winters that separated tread read belts.
2015 era Big O AT Bigfoot that were downright scary in the wet, slush, and snow on a '94 K2500 Suburban 6.5 TD.
2002 era BFG AT on the Jeep that were horrible in the wet, slush, snow and wore really badly.

 

What about the bfg K02's?
