Tires for a dually

Triple MJ · Mar 11, 2015

Need new tires for my dually. Any great tire choices out there?need something that can handle gross weights from 20,000 to 26,000lbs all the time. My OEM Nexen lasted 47,000 miles size 235/80/17
Thanks

The cool diesel trucks around here are running 295x22.5 lo pro semi tires. Rims also. Have a 8 lug to 10 adapter. Looks good and tires will go 150000 on something this light.

The last set I put on my dually are a Michelin LTX load rand E tire. Really like them. Quiet on the road, drive great, and get around good in the snow and wear great as long as you keep them rotated. I took a set of Cooper's off and gave them away with half the life left on them. Awful tire. Wouldn't stay in balance or round for that matter. Drove like crap too.

If you were happy with what you had run them again. Sounds like pretty good mileage to me. We had fellows using duallys to deliver new campers across the USA. The ones running Michlin's almost always got more mileage out of their tires than any other brand, but they were more expensive.

Firestone Trans-Force.

I have had pretty good luck with the Hercules Ironman series too

Agreed. If its been run with a load quite a bit that sounds like excellent mileage to me.

Ive always run Michelin LTX on mine. Always have had good service from them.

I run 60-70K per year on my one ton dually. Ford E350 with a 16 ft. box. Firestone TransForce is the only tire that has held up for me. No problems, and I get 50-60K out of a set.

Thanks for the help. I put on Firestone transforce HT. I wanted to try them to see how they preformed

How much were they? I've been getting by with take-offs that I buy thru Craigslist. Original Generals run 40,000 miles. Used the rims to mount studded snow tires ($900) six years ago. My first set of take-offs cost me $150 (paid $750 for 6 tires, rims and simulators, sold rims and simulators for $600 when I wore them out) and run 30,000 miles, paid $700 for the next set of 7 Michelins (2 new, 4 chipped up from gravel roads, one GY unused spare) rims and simulators, sold one rim for $60, just now wearing 3 of those chipped up tires out. I bought 2 used Michelins ($100) to run this summer replacing the two worst ones. I just bought a set of 6 Generals for $300 (half tread), should last me another two years....so, with 132,000 miles it has cost me $2090 in rubber, and should be good to go until 190,000 or more. This is on a 2004 Dodge dually that pulls a loaded 14k trailer (20-24k gross) 90% of the time...Never have had a bad tire in the bunch.
