Tires Toyo or Vredestein
The Cooper Discoverer AT3 was on my '06 2500 (before I sold it) and they were great. Rotations at 10k and lots of traction, but also really good life. Great in the snow and mud.
The Toyo Open Country AT are what are on my '08 3500. Solid tire, definitely needs rotations at 10k, lots of traction with fantastic life. Not anywhere as good in the mud as the Discoverer, but in the snow they were about 85% of what the Cooper tires would do.
Toyo m-55’s best fucking tire on a diesel truck hands down
Get the Toyo RT trails. They ride smooth and are more than quiet enough for me. Lighter than MT, look cooler than the ridge grapplers, more aggressive side lug, heavier load rating than Mickey Thompson for 35x12.5
Toyo open country . Surprisingly quite and smooth and great on and off road within reason.
I’ve been running Toyo Extensa hp2 on my Q 50 with 450 hp for about 3 years now and I’ve gone through two sets. They’re fucking incredible. I love them they grip they rip and they look good, great with the snow where I live and the wet and perfect for carving up on dry afternoons on back roads.
I drive my 240 daily to my job at a ski resort in the Rockies. I've had a number of different snow tires and really like my current Toyo Observe G-3's with studs. 2x 80lb sandbags in the trunk and it's a great performer, very predictable. The Toyo's are quiet as well.
I have vredstein pinza on my GL 550 for 7k miles and are very happy with them.
The Vredesteins def looked noticeably bigger (taller) than the Yoko Geoloanders they replaced, but that could just be a worn vs new tire. So far so good other than not looking forward to cleaning them regularly lol.
I got just under 30k before changing. There was still maybe 5k of tread left to the wear bars on the worst one but I was going on a long trip and wanted new tires for it.
I really don't think these tires are great for either mileage or handling. In fact, the only thing they seemed good for is a comfortable, somewhat quiet ride.
those toyos are widely regarded as poor tires, they ride quiet when they're new but very shortly they get loud and the grip is pretty bad and any sort of inclement weather even just rain.
