I've got 295-45-20's on my 06 DC right now. What other size tires may fit or what brand do you use and like? Mine are Continentals and have 50,000 miles on them.

Heck if you got that many miles out of them why not stick with that brand and size.My first set I only got 28 out of them and that was pushing it I wouldn't mine getting 50.That means I would only buy Tires every 5 or so years since at my current rate I've only racked about 10-12k a year.

hi, is that mostly highway?
if not, your CRAZY to switch to any other. most of us with 20's get 1/2 of what you got, or less than that much less. i think i got 19 out of the bfgoodrich radial t/a g-force. switched to hankook ventus and went bigger to 295/45/20 and absolutly love them. i wouldn't buy any other. plus they are V-rated, for speed. and have "A" rating in 2 area's.
what a awesome tire! hankook ventus. who know s maybe i'll get 50g's. the jury is still out. i know 1 thing , i'll get way more than 19g's for sure. i still have some nubbs.
but i doubt they will come close to 50g's.
good for you, believe me, keep what you got, 50g's. holly sh%t!
wow

I have the continental cross contact uhp's on mine with a little over 25,000 and can probably get another 5,000-10,000. Just don't know what to get next. I thought about getting either goodyear or michelin.

Yeah it's true! They are ALL highway miles. I put probably 38000-42000 on the truck in the first year traveling from SE GA to SW GA 2-3x per week. I've only put about 8-10000 in the last 9-10 months. The people at the tire store thought I should have more but I thought 50000 was pretty good for the size of the tire. I'll post the exact ratings tomorrow when I can see them.
