Looking for a good mileage 10 ply tire.

The stock Goodyear SRA at 44 PSI look almost flat with the wheel cranked.
I have never seen such a soft unsupporting tire,it does not feel or look like it can handle the weight of my truck.
I am sure it is pretty much maxed out.

Anyway looking for a 10 ply mileage tire,if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
I have winter 10 ply now,so looking for a all season non agressive tire???
Thanks for any suggestions.
 
It's not remotely maxxed out with no load on the pickup. I load up my bed and hook up a 700+ lb. tongue-weight trailer and mine still look fine.

I loved all the Michelin E rated tires I used on both my old Cummins and the Duramax. They took 80 psi, rode reasonable at 65 psi, handled the loads easly and gave me over 70,000 miles of tire life.
Just don' t think you need them on this "little" 1500. It's not designed for the loads a 2500 or 3500 is designed to carry or pull.
 
If you have the 17" wheels Wrangler silent armor tires that come on the outdoorsman are the best tires I have ever had. If you have the 20" wheels the new bfg k02 tires come in that size, those should work really good.
 
The Michelin LTX AT 2 tire is very well rated on Tirerack and for a little less money, the Firestone Destination AT is too.
 
Those SR-A tires are worthless for me. You are going to loose mileage going 10 ply. I'd recommend the Yokohama Geolanders. I went a little more aggresive with the Cooper AT3. I got 10 ply tires for puncture resistance on gravel roads. I'd owned the truck less than 36 hrs when I had my first flat on gravel and it was a massive hole. With less than 500 miles on them the tire shop wouldn't even take them on trade because he said he can't sell them around here. I had a spread sheet with tire weight and price. I'll look for it.
 
Hankook Dynapro AT/m, E rated, 10 ply. I have them, and love them. Used on multiple vehicles in all seasons as well as snow storms and on sheets of ice, never let me down. I can still hit the advertised fuel economy numbers for the truck with them, even though I went a step bigger than stock. They aren't nearly as noisy as some of the more aggressive tread styles but are certainly more aggressive looking than the stock tires or MS/2, etc... though I'm not sure that's a selling point for you.

They were definitely more affordable than a lot of the other popular tires I was considering, too.

Thanks for your suggestions.

My Eco is going to be my work truck,and it will be hauling 5 days a week,so I am pretty sure I will be going with a 10 ply.
I got the 3:92 gears and my eco seems to want to pull anything I put behind it.

The rear stock Goodyear look like they have 1/2 the tread as my front tires from pulling weight and at 8000 MIles they look like they will be lucky if they hit 20.000 miles before they are shot.
Anyway the Geolanderand the Michelin MS seem to be my 2 choices.
Looking forward to dumping the Goodyear.
 
I've been very happy with my 275/65r20 E-load Toyo Open Country AT2s. 10,000kms no visible signs of wear. Had the Cooper Discover ST/Maxx E-loads on my 2012 Ram 1500 - also good tires, possibly a little better on ice that the Toyos.
 
Goodyear Duratracs. E-rated 10ply and winter rated. Nice block tread pattern, very minimal road noise and tough as heck! I ran 2 set back to back on my wrangler and once my Ram GY are toast I'll be adding duratracs

My Goodyear Duratracs on my Land Rover are insanely loud, almost as bad as a mud terrain. It's my wheeler so I don't mind but I don't think they'd be my first choice for a daily driver.
