Bridgestone Dueler's. Thank me later!! 60 K warranty (I am on my 5th set, all have gotten between 65-75k on my tundra's. They are about $180-$190 (20 inch) at Discount. Go to Discount, tell em you want 4, with road hazard, lifetime balance/rotate for $800 (before taxes) and they will get pretty darned close to that. You should be able to walk out of there paying no more than $860-$870 after taxes. 6 month interest free if you have a card. Pay em $150 a month and done. Agree, by far the best tire I have ever bought. They have a good wear life and give a quiet ride. It cost about $1400 to put a set on my F-250. They changed the tread pattern and I must admit I don't really care for it. I bought a set of Yokohama for my old second truck. It does not get driven a lot and I did not want to spend the money on the Duelers. The tire dealership told me once I ran the Yokohama tires that would be all I would want. I must admit that he may be right. I have been very impressed with the Yokohama's and that is probably what I will get next time for the F-250 as well.

Toyos are some of the best tires you can buy but they are not cheap.
They are the best I have ever ran, I have ran several different brands and types on my trucks over the years. My truck is always lifted with oversized tires and most of my driving is in the city so tires have never lasted very long for me, in the past the most I ever got out of a set was 40,000 miles and those where Nittos.
On my current truck it has a 7 inch lift with 35/12.50/20's Toyo Open Country MT which is a true mud tire I got 55,000 miles on the first set and just replaced them last week with a set of new ones. These are the quietest mud tires on the market and last longer than the rest.
If you want Toyo Tires do not buy them from Discount Tire, they wanted $2100 for them, local tire shop was $1400 out the door installed. They can deal on Nittos but not Toyos which makes no sense to me since they are made by the same company and Toyo is top of the line and Nitto is a step down in quality.

Nitto Grappler G2's
I have 42K on mine and they still have great tread, excellent traction, and don't slip/slide in the elements

To me buying road hazard is just like buying any other type of extended warranty. My policy is to never buy any and I have come out way ahead. Of course if you are a nail magnet like m daughter you might want it. I call her the flat princess. so is my wife. Never got the road hazard either. Why pay for road hazard? When buying 4 tires that are $200 each or higher, there is no way I am walking out of discount tire without free or very close to free road hazard on all of them. Mounting ($16 per tire, disposal fees $3 per tire, stems $2-3 per tire, and road hazard $20-$25 per tire) all total close to $180-$200 (give or take a few bucks) on 4 tires. If you buy 4-$200 tires, your bill is gonna be $980 + tax or about $1060 walkout. Know what your total is before going into the store. Simply ask them, "Hey man, can you get me outta here for less than $920 or $930?" Clerk will go to typing on his little keyboard and come back with, "We can do $980". "Ya sure ya cant do $920?" Clerk will go to typing, maybe go get his boss and he starts typing......"Sir, we can go $945 and no more"....That is when you hand over your credit card and say thank you for the free road hazard sir. I've been taking my old tires with me, save $12 bucks and then take them to these used tire shops and they'll give you around $10 bucks a tire, you're making $52 dollars

I took the loud, noisy, bumpy, loud noisy Nitto mud grips off my Ford and put on some quiet, smooth Cooper Tires.
