What do you all recommend I replace my " All Terrain"(Vietnam)with-must be American made.
Thanks
Thanks
Last set I bought, two out of four, the tread separated from the carcass within 30k. One of them took my brake line with it. I want no more Michelins. And they were expensive.Michelin ain’t bad.

I run them till they are ripe for the dragstrip.
When I have had them bust a belt was only when running twice recommended pressure and trying to run off the middle tread.
I put 100,000 miles on many many sets of 80,000 michelins.
Cooper, kelly an general grabber are nearly as good quality IMO.
Michelins are king on my vehicles. Often buy used so I never get bit with tire price. New take offs last 5 sets. Thats 20 michelins in 10 years of marriage.
Not bad.
Goodyear Wranglers have done really well for me. I've never had a set of Generals that lasted much over 30k.I usually shop around for reviews on tires and sales and purchase tires accordingly. I like to buy American when possible, but with most things today, it's hard for me to keep up with who makes what these days, since so much is outsourced.
That said, often I find myself buying Firestone, Goodyear, and General tires. I've had good luck with General Grabber, on my last truck, and actually the factory Goodyear Wrangler tires on my current truck. Also the Firestone Destination gave me good service in the past.
The goodyear wranglers on my truck lasted 55,000 miles on the rear and 70,000 on the front, with no tire rotations. With the 2500HD, they tell you to run 80psi on the rear, to handle the GVWR, but that's at max capacity. My common folk education, tells me to run my new set at ~60psi, and air up to 80psi if I really need to push the limit. lolGoodyear Wranglers have done really well for me.

I haven't bought any Generals in 15 years or so. To me, the Kelley Edge A/Ts are pretty much Goodyear Wranglers for a cheaper price. They're even made on the Goodyear molds.The goodyear wranglers on my truck lasted 55,000 miles on the rear and 70,000 on the front, with no tire rotations.

I've had mixed results with the General Tires. I've had early General tires with not so good results, but more recently pretty good. I've had the Grabber AT2 and it was a good tire. The newer General A/TX tire is rated very well, actually #1 on tire rack in the AT category. Might be worth another look...
