I’ve owned F-450/550 and now Ram 5500 type trucks for about 25 years now and have always found the selections of off-road tires to be almost non-existent. About a year ago I found these Continental HDR “Terra” in a 225/70 R19.5. They are crazy expensive retailing about $450/each. Found a set of (6) on FBM for about $350/each and gave them a try.
I am really impressed. They are not only excellent off road, but they are very solid while towing heavy weight AND they are not overly noisy. I got about 15,000 miles on them now, and I just purchased another set of (6) for about $2,300. They are stacked in my garage ready to install once this first set wears-out.
For an very aggressive tire, they handle really well, are lasting about as long as I could hope for-about 18,000 miles would be my estimate. That’s not a lot compared to an AT tire, but I do a lot of off road work and so the trade off is a bargain for me. Anyway, I highly recommend them.
