Has anybody used these tires and what are your thoughts. I'm currently running Firestone Denstation A/T and have gotten only about 24K on them.. I think that crazy..-:t I drive 99% highway and about 100miles daily commute to work and back. The two tires I'm looking at are:

Firestone Tranforce HT
or
Hankook DyanPro AS RH03

Both are Highway all-season.

Comments, questions, Insults are welcome.

Thanks

Alot of people in your situation go with Michelin LTX MS. They seem to last quite some time. They aren't a real aggressive tread pattern but do well in all seasons. I wouldn't mind them but I can't stomach supporting the frogs, especially after their fiasco in the 05 USGP.
I have Bridgestone Dueler AT Revos. They are a little more aggressive but seem to be holding up well for me.

I have a set of Toyo open country, 10ply. Have got 20k on them, should be able to get 35k out of them. Thats w/ a lot of gravel driving. They work great in snow, and decent in mud and handle a 9500lb load realy well.

lfosbriDon't know about the Tranforce HT but I had the AT's and only got about 18 to 20 thousand miles out of them. I pull a trailer almost everyday for work and drive what I would call normally. The AT's sucked for traction in any wet conditions.

If you want maximum mileage out of a tire, get Michelin XPS, Goodyear G647, or Bridgestone R250. They are all around $200, but all will probably last at least 100K miles. Next time FedEx or UPS comes, look at the tires they are using, probably is one I mentioned.
