I've got General Ameratrac's on my Dodge, load range E. So far so good, they seem to be wearing ok.

Here at the Dealership we put Firestone Transforce or the BFG Commercial T/A on and have great luck.
Alot of fleet companys that we deal with perfer the Transforce.

Bridgestone M773 commercials (10 ply) like what ryder and u haul uses LR E getting 70k out of a set ($190 ea) they don't wiggle like alot of tires do, excellent traction in the rain , they don't sing , and are regroovable or recapable , definately stay away from badyear Manglers had belt breaking issues in the sidewall both the old style pre 95 and the new style ( was supposed to take care of the belt issue )
100% Pure Pontiac well all except for the rearend. its a Ferd .

That sounds right, but I'd have to go look...just went and looked. Yes, they are the LTX M/S. 215/80-16. I've got 84,000 miles on them. I'll likely replace them next spring since they are getting some pretty good dry rot.

Michelins(not sure what model) is what my dad has on his 03 dodge 1 ton, they came factory with them. He has towed around 20,000lbs with them and loves them

Have you dually owners found a good tire pressure gauge you like over other styles?
