Need to replace some factory 18" tires on a gmc half ton. What tires (those with trucks and SUVs) do you like most? I've heard good things lately about Cooper AT and the Duratracs. I've always run the BFG all terrains myself but looking to try something different if the price is right. 90% highway, 10% Offroad is my use currently fwiw.

I tell ya I was on a tight budget but listened to everyone here when they said get Michelins for my truck. Glad I spent the little extra because they rock! Quiet, good grip and I have 27k on them yet they still look brand new. Love the Michelins.Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Toyo Open Country on my F250. I had the All Terrains and then went with Mud Terrains when it was time for new ones. I'll probably go back with ATs again when it's time, just because I don't offroad much, and the ATs performed fine when I did. I got about 35k miles out of the ATs but they weren't bald by any means when I switched them. I've put almost 15k on the MTs and they still have at least half the tread depth from new. The MTs wander a little, but not real bad.
I did have a random flat on one of the MTs while coming home from a camping trip. By the time I noticed it, the tire was ruined. Discount prorated it under warranty (not something I paid any extra for) and it cost me less than $100 for a new one. Since it was trashed, I never knew what caused the flat. No visible punctures. This same tire had gone on a road trip to CO and back and through miles of crazy terrain and sharp rocks with no problems. Go figure.
We put Nitto Terra Grappler (All Terrains) on our 4Runner about 6 months ago, and they're great so far. Too early to tell how long they will last.

I've Run Toyo A/T and M/T, Nitto T/Gs, BFG All Terrains, and Older BFG Mud terrains and GoodYear Mud terrains with success..
Obviously any of the Michelin tires are going to be great highway but less aggressive off road wise than what I usually run.
Saying that, I've had a few sets of Toyo and Nitto All Terrains that made it to 45-50k on heavy, well-abused trucks.
