Eldorado Wild Trail CTX LT285/70R17 Tire

I did my homework at the beginning of December 2020 and bought these through Walmart.com. The parent company of Multi-Mile makes these tires (pretty much the same mold). I bought four 285/70-17 in the load range E. The width is a little narrower than my General Grabbers that came off, but the height appears to be the same. The tread depth is one of the best I could find for an LT. I have about 6000 miles on them so far, no real signs of wear. These performed 'good' in the New Hampshire winter - not great, not badly. The compound is a little hard when cold for deep snow, once the warmed up they gripped fine. Like any non-studded tire, ice was a challenge. I live on a small farm about 3 miles down some very rural roads. Spring has brought New England's unofficial 5th season (mud), and these tires are amazing. They are on a Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab, and most of the time I can cruise through up to a foot deep rut with out even engaging four wheel drive. Dirt traction is definitely a fantastic quality of these tires. I have yet to tow any machinery with these, but the side walls seem very stiff and I doubt there will be any issues. Like any rugged LT tire, they "sing" a little when going down a paved road. Doesn't bother me, and not nearly as loud as a true MT tire. I will definitely buy these again.

These are large/heavy tires and they take a bit to get them balanced. They ride great and have good overall traction. I have noticed an increase in mileage on the highway, Wich is always nice. As far as how they hold up, time will tell. I have only had them a week. I will admit that I have had better service out of off brand tires than all the Cooper's I have owned.
