Stock firestone trans tires must be the worst tires I've ever seen.

I was not happy with how the Transforce AT’s wore the corners on my 2500 or 3500 Cummins… got a bit over 20k out of them on both trucks… but I never had an issue with noise, traction, vibration, etc. so I put the same thing in the 2500 when it was due

With the 3500 I went with a Michelin AT something, they wear like iron, but are GARBAGE for traction in wet… I don’t trust them a bit… wound up sliding all 20ft. Of that truck 3/4 sideways around a not too sharp bend at 45 mph. In the rain because I took off the gas and as soon as the exhaust brake engaged it was hangin out there like Tokyo drift.

The 2 areas I see manufacturers love to cheapin out on are tires and batteries. That being said, many manufacturers are now delivering proper tires. When I get my 2025 I just plan to drive to the tire shop and swap them out immediately. Sucks, but is what it is. Of my most recent new vehicles;

2005 Nissan Titan -- Came with cheap as street tires on an off road vehicle, Flat Trail T/As. Swapped out after 5 flats in 8K.
2005 Nissan Xterra -- Same as above, took it to Baja and had 2 dozen flats, tires came back full of patches and plugs, discarded at 11K
2015 4 Runner TRD-- Nitto Grabbers were decent, 1 flat in 25K for comparison
2018 Power Wagon -- Dura trash tires popped with in a few thousand miles, and they would drop air instantly, destroyed a rim. Maybe a dozen flats in 12K and tossed. With the destroyed rim I actually requested warranty because the tires were so in-appropriate for the vehicle. Yes, of course denied.
2024 Ineos Grenadier -- Came with BFG A/T thank heavens, but swapped out for BFG H/D at 2K miles.....because it needed 35s!

My 98 Dodge Ram and 04 Dodge Ram both came with Michelin LTX tires. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a Ram thing.

I have the Miichelin Defender M/S and l absolutely love them. I feel they are best all-round tire made.
