It time for new tires, I am trying to decide between the Goodyear Workhorse and BFGoodrich Commercial T/A 265 75 16 E? I plow a fair amount as well as tow (5k lb) on the highway. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Are you looking at the BF Goodrich Commercial T/A All Season or BF Goodrich Commercial T/A Traction? I've been considering the Traction version myself just wondering what their road manners are and how long they last on the highway

I wore out a set of the T/A Traction in 15,000 miles, 80% of those miles were towing something though. They were loud, but then so is the dmax, their road manners were acceptable for the tread pattern.

I use the BFG traction T/A's for my winter tire. They have about 10K on them and I still have 9-10 32nds left. They are noisy but acceptable in my opinion. The winter traction is phenomenal. I am happy with their handling and towing characteristics.

I have a set of the Traction BFGs and they will go on my truck Nov, 15 and i will take them off April 1. I ran them last year with 20,000 miles on them including a trip to the hot south in Feb for the Bassmasters Classic. They are at 12/32 all the way around. In my opinion they are a great snow tire and really good on ice. I love them. i have had them all, but these seem to be the toughest and get great wear when there is no smow on the ground.

You just have to remember that snow tires like these are soft and if you burn out of stop lights and parking lots, they will get eaten up!

I would recommend them to anyone that wants a great tire for snow and ice, but not an all weather tire. They also go really well in slush and water.

Thanks for the input. I have been surfing around and wonder about the retreads made by treadwright. The price is great, just don't know about the longevity?

I had a set of the workhorses on a 2000 K2500 that were not rotated ans the truck was out of alignment so they were bald on half the tire and they still went through 9-10" of snow very well. I will definitely consider them in the future. I have no idea what kind of mileage you will get out of them as they were on the truck when I bought it.

you get a $40,000 truck and then stick retreads on it?? can I ask why? I know form experience in the insurance industry that on these trucks there are conditions that they will not pay if you hit someone else if you are not running the recommended tires or an approved size and load rating. So before going that route, make sure your insurance company will pay if the tire comes apart and you kill a family rolling down the interstate on your roof.
