What do yall like for tires on a Dually?

[RED-85-Z51]

Im going to need a new set of tires soon for my Dually, the rears are shot..bald as can be, and the fronts are dry rotted....I want 235/85/R16'...I think they will look decent on it.

I really like this one.. and the price is affordable ,considering..6 tires, instead of 4.

That's a fairly aggressive tire tread what will you be using it for?

[C5SilverBullet]

You're going to be replacing those M/T's often.

I dont mind an aggressive tread, it will basically be used to pickup and deliver customers trailers as needed for repairs, Ive been thinking, since the repaint went so..poorly, of taking it and having it wrapped with some advertisements for my shop, use it as a mobile billboard or something. Its 2wd, and i like traction, so Im thinking an aggressive trea,d coupled with thel ocker, would give it at least a fighting chance if I have to go int ograss or dirt.

[RED-85-Z51]

Ive had the truck 16 months and Ive put all of 300 miles on it..lol, Im not worried at all about ever replacing tires. But ,those 300 miles have allowed me to make about $8,000 in profit..Id have been unable to make without the truck. Its surprising how many people have gooseneck trailers, but no way to tow them, and when they need repairs, they are at the mercy of the shop.

We sell a lot of Nexen's, pretty good tire.

[RED-85-Z51]

Im on the fence about Treadwright tires, I see so many people that love them, no problems at all, then..1 person has ongoing problems...

So Sea Six comes here to talk about a pickup he's buying and you know everything there is to know about every detail of every truck chevy ever built, the mileage he's going to get, the capacity of every transmission available on it, what it can and can't tow up what kind of grade and now you're here asking for advice about the tires?

I was just looking for opinions on tires, take your shit elsewhere.

[WalkerInTN]

Didn't know Kenda made anything but bicycle tires. :leaving:

[Bucwheat]

I run 235-85-16 Good Year wranglers on the rear and Firestone steel trac on the front.

[Fastguy]

Never heard of Kenda tires but those look like they will be obnoxiously loud, flat spot from sitting, and eat suspension parts.
I have been running Yokahamas and they have been excellent for towing/plowing/ all around use.

I cant find steel trac anywhere.

For a dually, this would be my choice also.

Neighbor has a 2001 Dodge, extended cab, long bed that he hauls a 40 ft long 5th wheel toy hauler with sleeping quarters.

He put a set of Michelins on it first day of ownership. 77,000+ miles later, they still have lots of tread on them.

Yup.

Do it right or go home. No way in hell am I'm putting cheap POS tires on a truck that is hauling thousands of pounds.

Although I will say that for the first time in a LOT of sets of tires, the factory Michelins on my 3500 Denali aren't giving me quite as much wear as I would like.
