Angry 04 Tundra DC...23K miles...already need tires!

I thought it was windy this morning...ended up being a low tire....took it into Big O tires thinking I probably picked up a nail from a construction site. Tech tells me the tires are junk!? The tires are already cracked (dry rotted?) the leak was from between the tread...no hole.
Seperating, almost worn out...bla, bla, bla.
Cr@p!
What was Toy thinking?
The BFG tires on my truck are passenger car tires...not even truck tires.
All 4 show the same type of wear (I rotate them) so it's not just one being junk.
Now I got to look at spending 800 bucks for some new BS Dualers.....
Double Cr@p!
Maybe the BS Dualers will help the off road performance....the BFG are really useless (IMHO) they tend to slip an awful lot.
O well...when I do change them at least I'll get to do that massive burnout the truck always wants to do!
What tires do you guys recommend?
Truck is daily driver 10-20% off road the rest of the time cruising...

They suck bigtime. If I hit a patch of dirt on the street in dry weather they waste no time in slipping (this is under constant throttle, I wasnt trying to peel out). I cant wait to get my new tires on, as soon as I decide on rims...

You might find the attached photo a mite interesting. It's a Michelin LTX M/S in P265/70R16, the LF tire on my Tundra at 48,xxx actual miles. The measured tread depth is 5/16".

Why the LF tire? Because its the easiest to get to when the truck is in my garage.

I got my Revo's from tirexchange and installed them this past sunday ...
kinda early for a review but they look really nice and the ride is much nicer than my old tires

I also ordered up some Dueller H/L's Alenza's from tirexchange for my wife's Expedition and they arrived today.....Great place to buy Bridgestone tires and thier prices can't be beat

Nice to see that DJ. I'm actualy picking up a set of Michelin LTX M/S for my '04 DC today. A buddy of mine recommended him saying that he got over 80,000 miles on his last set before selling his truck, and they were still in decent shape!
