Looking into new tires for the rig. After reading a ton of posts here, I had it narrowed down to Michelin xps ribs and bridgestone duravis. I went to a tire guy I really trust, and he said the Michelins were junk due to dry rot and that I should go with a firestone (don't remember the model) that was actually the same as the bridgestone....said bridgestone makes the firestones.

I've been a die hard Michelin fan on my trucks forever, so I was a little taken aback about his dry rot comments. G614's are out as I have 80# rims.

Thoughts ?
Thanks in advance.
