In the same boat. Think I am going to order km2's next week for my 04 dually. Thinking I am going to be a slave to rotating. besides BFG's just look better.

 

Coopers are Load E range.......

What are the Goodyear tires?

 

whatcha talkin bout willis? :mr-t:

I ran 255 KM2s on my 2011 3500 dually, no complaints, got around 25k before I damaged one on the highway. Put 4 of the remaining tires on a a srw F-350 service truck and they have another 10k and still close to half tread.

Just ordered a set of the ST maxx yesterday, having them installed Tuesday.

I love the 255-80 size on the dually, perfect fit.

Had the KM2s and going Cooper... that kinda pushes me that way too. If they made the 255 in an A/T instead of KM it wouldnt even be a contest.

We've been happy with all the cooper tires we have run, plus they still make a lot of tires in the US, which I like. No experience with anything close to a mud terrain though.

 

I put them in size 285/75/16 on my F250 Superdooty...if that counts. Love and Hate relationship. Love the tread, but the sidewalls just feel soft while driving. I really can't stand that.

 

My set was the same way. And towing my toyhauler really accelerates the wear on the rear.

 

What psi did you run them at, and did you try inflating them more?

 

I keep mine at 60psi.

 

I just checked and both tires are Load E range........which is good

I know that the Coopers I have had in the past wear great, and all Goodyear stuff wore fast

 

Any more thoughts or reviews on the st maxx? Would be on a 3/4 ton diesel pulling a gooseneck some.

 

Had em on my 97 3500. Ate em like candy. Especially the fronts. Didn't like them towing either.

 

Damn, hate to hear that. I need to replace my current tires after I just replaced ball joints, u joints, unit bearings and shocks. Current tires are trash thunderers that have been chewed up hard from the dirt roads, gravel roads, and ranch work and because the ball joints were wobbly as a weable. I can't decide between st maxx, toto at2 and copper ap3.

 

I have a ram 2500 and I pull a 5er several times a month. I hade the cooper at3 and they were good until about 35k. One of them developed a wobble and discount tire offered to replace it free. Since the others were all worn some I opted to just use that money toward a new set. I got a 305/70/17 terra grappler. They have been excellent tires. Right now I have 65k on them and have not yet hit the wear bars. They have never let me down around a campsite or in the hunting lease. Last year I pulled an enclosed trailer about a mile back into the lease with about 6 inches of snow over a dirt road and made it in and out in 2wd (I wanted to see if I could). Not sure if I will get them again or try something different. It's always fun to change things up sometimes.

 

I've been starting to look at tires for my 3500 too. The stock ones are around 38k and seem to have worn ok. I don't want too aggressive and just lose all fuel mileage for looks, but would like to not spin tires on wet grass either.

 

I went AT2 on my 2500. Ride is night and day compared to my old, chopped up, worn out Thunderererer mud tires.

Nice and quiet too.

 

I have the coopers on my ford. Happy with the. 25k miles on them. Maybe 50% left. Only rotated once. Ride nice. Little highway noise but can still talk on the phone fine. I have them at 35/12.5/20
