Truck tires
I have Goodyear Wranglers now, and need some new tires. Anyone that rides the beach like any other brands, models? Was thinking Dunlop Radial Rovers. I want to get some new ones this weekend.

I put a set of Dunlop Radial Rovers on my daughter's Grand Cherokee a couple years ago and they really haven't stood up too well. She doesn't ride the beach at all. Just everyday usage and I'm not happy with their overall life, wear, and performance.
I've used BF Goodrich on my trucks for several years now and have always been happy with their performance. Had a set of All Terrain T/A's on my Dodge Ram when I sold it that had about 100K on the tires and still had lots of tread left. The new truck came with BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A. They're not as aggressive a tread as the All Terrains and they seem better on the beach because they don't dig in as much. A lot tamer on the road as well especially with the road noise.
Lots of other choices, but I just thought I'd weigh in my experiences with the Dunlop's.

Cooper Discoverer HT's.
Run them on everything in the yard, the 150, the Expedition, the motorhome, and the kids GC. The Expedition will get new ones in the fall, figure about 50K on the first set on the Expedition, still legal, but want fresh tread for winter.

On my second set of Radial Rovers. Got 68,000 on my first set. Very quiet tire with a pressure range of #30-#35. You can run them at #30 for a soft road ride,keep mine at #32 and rotate every 15,000. Run nice on the sand and great on snow.
