I bought General Grabber AT2's for my dump With the size of 245 75 R16's. They fit fine and the pattern on the tires is awesome. They also come in load range E. They are alot cheaper also. But they are a little wider than the old tires I took off. They are also studdable. I'm not trying to sell you on these. But the deep snow traction is amazing. And you can't beat the price. $107 each, at Tirerack

i work at a tire shop. we found the newer silent armer tires suck for milage. lots of complantes. had a few sets from good vehicles that only got 20k miles. :realmad: thay were happy with the traction and ride. but not the life.

The Generals come with a 60,000 mile warranty, but of course not for a commercial vehicle.
The only thing you need to make sure of is the space between the springs and the tires. And with 235 85 R16's the spacing should be fine, because you are not changing the width. The height shouldn't be a problem either. If it's 4wd there should be more than enough room.
The wear so far on the Generals are good but won't last 60,000 but I do carry heavy loads so that is to be expected. But they will last about 30,000. And little road noise for an aggressive AT tire.

thanks guys,sweetk30 what do u think for my truck I mean size of tires

 

[sweetk30]

the 235 up grade is comon and seems good. but as to tire i realy dont know what you do and go threw as to what to run. but the generals seem o.k. and bridgestone revos and most firestones are all good bang for the buck. i have seen revos run good on a loaded 1 ton work van with propor rotations for 40-45k miles. and my uncle loves f/s desenation m/t on all his toyotas. he wont buy anything else.

we use to be a good year store and now swaped over to other brands for lots of reasons. i seen lots of problems with balence/ride/wear on good years. i never ran them on any of my stuff once i started to install them on a regular basses.
