I'm curious on the conditions of the dirt roads you use to get home? ?

That said if looking for a good street tire only then I would suggest either the Michelin LTX M&S or the Firestone Destination LE3. Both are good street tires that will give good wet traction and are 3 peak rated for winter.

I have had the Destination LE3 on my truck for less than 1k miles. They are excellent in all weather conditions but being a harder compound, my mileage did take a hit. Coupled with .75" level of the front end, I seem to have lost over 1MPG. Oh, and I dont go offroad at all.

The leveling is most likely what caused your problem. If you went up a size that can cause an issue as well

Haha, Cooper RTs, wow, I used to run those on my Mustang and those are by far the BEST tires I've ever used. Lasted a long time too. Excellent tires.

DT not an option, nowhere near where I live. Also, tires under consideration not on sale...

How many miles so far, and predicted?

I have 55,000 miles on my original Hankooks and they still look & ride great.

Look online for sales, I order from them and they arrive on my doorstep.

My son has the Firestone LE3s on his SUV and really liked them. So when it came time to put new shoes on my SUV I put the LE3s on mine as well. So far I'm happy with them. That's suvs though, not a mid sized truck.

Looking for a set of summer tires. I do not go off road, other than dirt roads to get home. Original tires had plenty of traction, just didn't last 36K. I drive conservatively, use truck as daily driver with light hauling. Looking to improve milage without sacrificing handling in rain. Any ideas froom those that use truck in similar fashion?

Plus one when mine wears out.

I went with Michelin Defenders and are excellent in rain and snow should get good wear out of them
