For truck tires I can't say enough good about General Grabbers. I just got our
second set, these are the A/TX, previous were AT2. Both carry the mountain
(snow rated) symbol and are excellent offroad and on.
The A/TX are much quieter than the AT2 although they'd be loud compared to a
car tire.
They're quite aggressive but last well, the AT2s went 45 or 50,000. Would have
gone longer but I think I might have missed a rotation interval. We had them
for just over 4 years. Not terribly expensive either.

I was just thinking about my upcoming trip from Okie Acres to Memphis in the
240D. I’m not sure about condition of tires so I imagine I will replace the
tires later if needed. I was checking and the original size is 175/70/14.
Apparently that size doesn’t exist anymore and most people are using 185-70-14
which is pretty close to the original.
Anybody have recommendations for tires in this size that you all have used on a
123?
As far as the OT Truck question, I have a 2019 Chevy Silverado that I bought
back in May. It has 10,000 miles now. I have noticed that if it is raining (or
even just slightly wet), the tires will spin when trying to take off from a
stop. I wondered if this was just because it was a truck with no weight in the
bed. BUT, I was just reading reviews of these tires (Goodyear Fortitude HT) and
LOTS of people complain about wet traction.
Anybody have a full size truck/SUV and really like the tires they have? Or have
experience with others to avoid? The truck is 2WD and weather in Memphis is
pretty mild (except in the summer!).
