Tire suggestions for replacing Goodyear SR-A 275/65/18
I have 35,000 miles on my 2011 XLT 5.0 w/ Goodyear SR-A 275/65/18. Three of the OEM Goodyear tires have very little tread left on them. I was thinking about replacing them with Bridgestone Revos or Pirelli Scorpions. I want a tire with some tread life. Just want to know what tires you guys have had luck with.

When i was buying my truck it had the goodyears on it and i told the salesman no way.. put anything other than goodyears on it... So he went and found another new truck on the lot and swapped em out.. I ended up with the Michelins and cant be happier.. I have always got atleast 60,000 miles out of them and sometime as much as 80,000 miles..

I've always had great luck with the SR-A's. I just had my oil changed Friday, and have 10/32" of tread left at 35k miles. I'll be surprised if I don't get to 75k with them.
Otherwise, I have several northern coworkers running TA/KO's on their trucks, and they are getting 70-90k per set. Mostly highway miles of course.

Wrangler SilentArmors. Never had an issue with them, the tread life is good for me and they ride pretty well for a truck tire.
Swapped the SR-A's off both my '10 (after the first snowfall) and '12 before I even got it home. Those are the worst tires in the bad weather we get here in WI. I know some southern drivers like them but they are scary on snow.

About the only Goodyear I have found to be a pretty decent tire is the AT/S
Had quite a bit of balance issue with the Silent Armor ATs a few years back.
I have Never seen a SRA last much more then 30K.
BFGs, Michelins are almost always good choice. I like the new Rugged Terrain BFG not near as pricey as a ATKO and they are available in sizes less that are not 10ply load range E tires like most ATKOs . I have one of our trucks running a set with nearly 50,000 miles on them and they still have a decent amount of tread left on them.

I have a 2010 that is approaching 30K on the OEM SR-As. I have not been impressed with them at all. Not very good traction and they are wearing fast. Last week I had to replace one because a piece of gravel punctured the tire. I was hoping they were going to be like the Wranglers that came on my 2001 F150, they lasted 65K.
I was looking at Nitto Terra Grapplers, but I think I am going to go with LTX M/S 2's for replacements.

I have three sets of Michelin M/S2's here and love them. They have a quiet Cadillac ride and last forever. Remember the P metrics are lightweight tires for fuel economy. I went up to the E load tires and lost .5 MPG since each tire is 10lbs heavier. But it tows better, has deeper tread and more bruise resistance on the trails.
The A/T2 is also a good all terrain with excellent street manners.

I am putting these on, also trying to find a deal on a set of raptor rims to put them on.
