Default Tires

I honestly have found that tires take a while to burn up on truck if its not your daily driving. What would y'all normally spend on tires for a truck. I have these 2 options one cheap but still very trusted and other more expensive but they are good years after all. What tires do y'all run?

Michelin for me
On cars I care about
They start out round, and stay round
Did alignments for 35+ years
Goodyear is also a good tire

Michelin makes great tires. They do have a higher than normal tendency to crack in a few short years.. If you do not expect to log a lot of miles, you likely will be replacing Michelins because of severe cracking before you actually wear out the tread.

Thank you I appreciate the insight and I've heard of the cracking problem but maybe it's time to see for myself and get a pair.
