Better tires

[DeanR]

I have the Pirelli 225r65/17 I have over 2,000 on them now and they seem decent. I've had good luck with the Wildpeaks but looking for another option. I need an equivalent of at least a six ply tire. My major enemy is old nails and sharp rocks. Old nails you can patch, sharp rocks not so. Any body have suggestions.

And a lot of my travels is very backwoods, Sometimes 100 miles from the nearest town.

I've been liking my Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015s thus far. I'm running 235s. Found mine for cheap last fall on Amazon -- under five Benjamins for a set of four.

Well all I can say is I'm solely a Michelin guy. Can't say they can't be beat in a certain category but that's about all I've ever used for me and my family to ride on. Maybe a little more expensive than some, but for ME, I'll pay for the Quality, Safety, durability, etc. Everyone will have their own opinions/preferences and that's fine.

Those are what I switched to, they are a great tire but I am not sure they are available in 6-ply like OP wants at least not in a size that fits our trucks.

Edit: I am having trouble finding ply count for the tires. But 235/70r17 the firestones are available in their xl load and in my opinion is a better size than the 245/65 a lot of people get.

Maybe consider a run flat tire like the Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus. It may not prevent a puncture but even if the tire loses air completely you can still drive it for up to 50 miles at up to 50 mph.

I'm thinking of getting some run-flat Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus tires for my 2022 XLT Hybrid.

Did you try them? Any comments? Any info would be appreciated.

I haven't tried these tires, but the reviews seem to be generally pretty good.

GO15’s are good tires … my son ran them on his Cross Trek Hybrid and loved them. Personally, I am a Wildpeak fan … have had three sets and love the ride, quiet, and traction in all conditions. The little bit of off roading I do when fishing they hold up fine, but wouldn’t call it a good test for sidewall strength. But they do put up with Chicago expressway potholes well!
