Seeing how most of us drive construction trucks;
I have an ’06 Chevy Duramax and need to replace the tires. The originals only made it to 43,000. I will be purchasing an e-rated tire. Living in MN, I would like some recommendations for wear and handling in snow. Thanks!!
The FHB podcast crew chats about whether or not coil stock on fascia and rake trim is necessary.

I've had great luck with both Toyo Open Country A/T's and the Nitto Terra Grapplers. I've gotten at least 50k on any set I've had of those, and I am not the best at remembering to rotate. Both handled great in the snow and road noise was minimal IMO.
Depending on what size you are looking at you can get either in a E range.

I have NEVER got that kind of life out of any tire I'm wiliing to drive on in the snows of Northern Maine or even in Mass. 30-35K is about it for me.
I'm a Goodyear or Mich man myself.
Do you rotate, check pressure regularly? I can't remember ever getting less than 60 k or so. Usually much more.
MikeInsert initially amusing but ultimately annoying catch phrase here.
Yes I do.
