Fritz,

I have owned nothing but Michelins for my 92 D-250 Dodge. The original set got 72,000 on two tires and 103,000 on the other three. They probably aren't the best tire for mud or icy conditions but we don't have too much of that here in SC. Another good tire I think if mainly for highway use is the Goodyear Wrangler HT. I used them on a small private fleet where I used to work and they are tough. I personally would not use General or Firestone (I saw too many belt and structure failures from them) but I'm sure others have had good service out of them as well. The guy that I buy my tires from also mentioned a BF Goodrich tire as being pretty good but I really don't remember what type or style it was. I was buying the Michelins no matter what since I've had great service from them. Be sure you get a LT (light truck tire, load range E, 3074 lbs load per tire) and not a P type (passenger car) type tire. Big difference. With all due respect, less than $100 per tire sounds like a P type tire. Good luck!

Tommy
