Re: New Truck Tires
Buy your tires soon, there's news reports that truck tire prices are being raised 8% by the manufacturers.

Re: New Truck Tires
I'm saving money and buying the new tires not a new truck. I just ordered the Bridgestone Duravis from my Chevy dealer. They had the best price. The Bridgestone cost a little bit more than the Michelin, but not much and I have liked the Bridgestone that came with the truck. So now I will have Bridgestone on the truck and Michelin on the trailer.

Re: New Truck Tires
Replacing with the OEM tires is what I do, unless I need tires with a more aggressive tread. If things work, now that I'm a bit older, I don't mess with it. It's cheaper over time.

Re: New Truck Tires
Besides the Bridgestones are American made.

Re: New Truck Tires
Yep, my truck came with towing and camper packages. With those packages it came with Perrelli Scorpion tires, made in Georgia USA by the way, and they have been very good tires.Chief409 wrote:Replacing with the OEM tires is what I do.

Re: New Truck Tires
i put a set of the Bridgestone durovis 250's on the camper and have put over 7000 miles on them and they look brand new. however, the durovis 250's on my camper were made in Japan! Maybe they moved production over here now. Anyway, i think you'll really like them, wherever they are made.
