    Long Lasting MT

    I know, I know, I can't expect to get high mileage from an MT. However, I'll probably still go back with an MT when my current 35's give out.
    Throw me some recommendations for a long lasting MT. I like the Toyo RT and Cooper STT PRO, but will consider most other reputable brands.

    I had the Firestone Distination MT and got almost 60k from them. But had to constantly rotate roughly every 5k with tire pressure checks weekly. But they sung way to much for long trips.

    I looked at them and they're cheaper than the others. I have heard negatives on the noise.
    Firestone now has the MT2 out. I may check those out as well.

    I'm running Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx. I've been rotating every 5 to 6K and getting decent wear.

    Check out General Grabbers. I put 60 K on a couple of sets. I did well with the Firestone Transforce too.

    Destinations are noisy while the Transforce are not. I never got stuck with them either. They're more of a highway thread. The Generals were quiet and seemed to have slightly better traction than the Firestone

    I have general grabbers on now, no noise complaints, Rotating every 10K and I have about 60 to 70% tread life left at 13K miles. I drive with a heavy foot though.

    Re: Long Lasting MT

    I had the transforce at on my ‘12 and they wore out under 30k and had little to no off-road ability. I’ve looked at the general x3 and like the tread pattern. I will probably go down in size from the 35’s to a 285/65 or something like that. Something roughly 34x11 or wider equivalent

    I did like the nitto Terra Grapplers on my 03 a few years ago, but not sure if anything changed since.
