My buddy has an 01 3500 quad cab Cummins 4x longbox dually. He needs new all season He is always on the highway and does a lot of towing. Also plans on buying about a 30/32 flatbed trailer. What are you dually guys running and what are you getting for miles on your tires?? tires. He says he wants some 60,000 mile tires. I chatted with my tire guy at my fav tire store. He sais it will be had to get that kind of mileage because the tires cant be rotated properly because of the alum rims.
I am truckless..

For extended tread life and good wear, get some commercial Michelins.
93 W250 CTD getrag, Bosch 185 injectors, AFE air filter. Trailer puller, daily driver, 90 W250 CTD 727 with smokin 5" stacks. Off road truck

I like it when people avoid Treadwright tires. It means there are more left for me, and keeps the price down. And with the new bead to bead tire, there is no "old" sidewall rubber to worry about as well. I guess since they are used on many fleet vehicles, and municipal vehicles, and the coverage in the truck magazines means they are unreliable or something...

Michelins are the best, but I cannot afford them, so I run Coopers or BF Goodrich Commercial T/A, I hate Firestones.
Got 80+ K miles out of my Michelin LTX M/S 2's on my 2500 Cummins. They're pricy but if you rotate them they will last a long time. And they ride ultra smooth. Worth every penny.
