I'm looking for tire suggestions, what brands/model have you folks had luck with? I'm leaning towards Dunlop Rovers, I had a set on a Toyota Tacoma that went 80K+ and still had good tread.

thanks, LB

I'm planning on getting the Bridgestone Revos in the spring when I replace mine.

I put these on my k1500:

MULTI-MILE WILD COUNTRY RADIAL XTX SPORT

I got the 265/16 8-ply, so had to get the rigid stems for higher pressure, and tread was a bit deeper. I just wanted tougher tire that 6 ply. I like them so far, used North Dakota field driving, logging road driving, and just normal snow. They look better on the truck than the picture \:\) As they have a nice squared off edge look, not rounded. Not noisy.

They are "off brand" so cheaper, but still about $450 after mounting, tax and the extra cost of the stems. We have had good luck with Kumhos as well. Good luck with whatever you get.

(FYI - I personally had bad luck with BFG AT, both in getting stuck and separations, but I know friends like them. I laugh when I hear how much they pay for them ;\)

I had good luck with my Goodyear Wrangler AT/S. 70,000 before it was time for new tires! I went with the LT simply because of the tougher sidewalls, maybe a little stiffer ride but I'll sacrifice that knowing when I'm in rocks my sidewalls wont rupture or cut so easy. Most tires out there are fairly decent if you keep your alignment in check and always monitor air pressure. It boils down to how much you really want to spend!

My favorite is the Michelin LTX A/T. Spendy, but decent ride, decent traction, not much noise, and wear like iron.

I've heard the Revos are good too but haven't tried them. The Michelins just refuse to wear out...

Had Dunlop Radial Rovers (likely older models) before the Michelin and I didn't like them that much. They seemed to wear pretty quickly on my truck (K-1500 ext. cab) and the traction was only fair, IMO.

You can find many reviews at the Tire Rack website. I always consider the total number of miles reported when looking at reviews too.

I also run these. I have had them on my last 3 trucks and will continue to run them on my vehicles. Great tire IMO and I have gotten great mileage out of them. I'm at about 55,000 miles on my 03' Dodge 2500 (first 30k of that was on an 03' 1500). They have ALWAYS gotten me where I need to go.

I second this site. It's a good resource for researching many brands at once.

I'm a big BFG All-Terrain fan as well!

I'm on my 3rd set of All-Terrains now, my last set ran to 105,000 miles. As long as I've owned BFG All-Terrains, which covers about 9-10 years and nearly 300,000 miles of driving, I have never had a single flat until I got a nail in my last set, which was the day I bought new ones.

Balance and rotate frequently and you can run these things a very long time.

What do they say... you get what you pay for. These tires are worth every single penny IMO.

I have about 90,000 on a set of Goodyear Wrangler AT's. I will probably run them to 100,000 and then either trade my truck in, or replace tires, not sure which yet. They are awesome tires, quiet with great traction.

      Big Traverse Ice Free

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      By Rick G · Posted

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
