Does anybody ever replace their tires with the same ones that came on the truck? I mean, unless maybe you want to change size, different mfg have different options. But honestly I have nothing to complain about the Duelers. Ride smooth and quiet. Having said all that, I was considering going a size bigger but I don't think the Duelers come in 265/65-17.

I like the stock Dueler ATs that came stock. Ride smooth......quiet.......handle great in the rain. Will see how they do in the snow and ice this winter. If they underperform will probly go with Toyo AT3s.

I am going with a set of Firestone Destination LE3s that match up well/beat the stock tires in all tireracks metrics.... and they are almost 50 a tire cheaper.
That tire is on my top 5 list in 265/65-17. I like that it is US made. It has good reviews and is a only a tad bit heavier than the stock tire.

Nitto duragrapplers arw my tire of choice next to the highway tread michelins. Dont do extreme off-roading and prefer mpgs. Never ever bought the same tires a truck came with. Stockera typically get less than 50k for me and the two types I mentioned about see 65k-80k. Your mileage may vary ?

I put 155k miles on my last vehicle a '12 Focus. Tried several brands of rubber, never got much more than 30k. I drive a lot of backroads, not a lot of highway miles. Maybe that's why. I would like a little more grip than a road tire, but I rarely go off road and snow in Va. is not often. Stock Duelers did fine plowing the snow last year.

I am actually getting tires tomorrow. I bought the same ones that came with the truck, Hankook A/T something something
The cheapest place to get them was Wally World. $166 a tire.
If you want the best price on OEM tires, check OfferUp and CraigsList and look for new takeoffs.

Nothing wrong with stock. I just bought stock bronco tires for my ranger. I have 255 65 17, when they wear out putting on the bronco 255 75 17. Bothe tires bridgestone duelers, ranger h/t tire bronco a/t tires. My ranger is a 4x2, so just a little extra capable off road tire for the deer lease.

Same, I was planning to ditch them for Michelins pretty quickly but the Duelers are better than expected. I'll run em til they are done.

You can do better than the factory tires. 265/70-17 is more common, will fit, and isn't enough difference to throw off the speedometer.

Do you sometimes drive like an idiot?
Or if you say it often enough it becomes true?
