Tire recommendations, please.
Hi guys,
I'm still (I hope) about 10-15,000 miles from new tires, but I want to begin my research really early. So here we go. I currently have 275/60R-20 (P-metric) Cooper Discoverer AT3's.
Regarding these tires... The good -- quiet at all speeds, wearing evenly, soft/comfortable ride, relatively light (not heavy 10-ply). The bad -- weak sidewalls ("outlined white letters" ripped off with a light curb rub), have only 23,000 miles on them and look like they might barely make 35,000... The truck is aligned and they are wearing evenly, but simply aren't going to live up to the mileage claim.
To replace these, then, I want to retain ALL of the "good" characteristics above PLUS somewhat better sidewalls (do not want to go 10-ply), maybe a slightly more aggressive look, want tires that will last 50k, not 30-35.

ive been really impressed with these. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...Clar=SuperCrew
low to no noise and they dont look like car tires. really is best of the both worlds. only complaint is they are a little heavier and i noticed that in my fuel economy.
