Continental hdr. Run them on my f450 which weighs 14000 and f550 which weighs 19000. Both ride great and wear great for being so heavy.

Those sound like the stock tires, if they are, they are fine fine for the highway, but get in any dirt or mud and they suck.

The Continental HDR has a mud/snow rated tread design

If they are the stock tires they still suck with anything other than the pavement.

That's not the tire that came on my truck.
I still have the OEM Continental General LMT400 tires... they have no traction offroad

Man this sucks.... Which tires to buy? I need to get a set that will give me both on road and off road....

Mine did. They are junk tires.

Next I'm going to try a set of treadwrite guard dog M/Ts 245/70r19.5" load G, retreads with the crush glass and walnut shell added to the tread. for my next set of winter rubber for this coming winter.

Let me know how you like them, Demon! I was gonna go with them for my next set of my dooley

Demon · Jul 30, 2013

Ya I'll line up a set ordered in the next couple months. to be mounted and ready to rock before the snow flys here. which could be anytime from Oct onward. Probably get 7, to have a spare on hand. I mean for $133 each how could you NOT!

Thats what Im thinking. Damn thats cheap. Even if they only last a season....

bpcheramie · Aug 4, 2013

Has anyone run the retreads? I have never run them and just scared if they come apart.

Demon · Aug 5, 2013

I was as well. But I've been research reading them up for over a year. And I find very little on blow outs and tread separation. Not any more than virgin rubber. I'm gonna do it with out reservation. As a licences HD mechanic and class 1 Alberta driver I had doubts. But on a pickup ill do it. On a highway tractor, only the drives. Never the steers.

bpcheramie · Aug 5, 2013

Let me know how they work out for you. They look good and price is good but not really sure about them. My truck is my daily driver and just not sure if I can trust them yet. I know they are a lot cheaper than new tires....
