Those look good, wish I had seen them about 3 days ago. Man they're $$ about $100 more per tire than the LTX AT2s I went back with though. It's hard to find an AT tire that isn't super aggressive and these actually look perfect.
The Coopers are gone after less than a week due to a bad few tires. Replaced them with LTX AT2's since there are so few choices in tires this size. Not happy.

Got the tires today. Major difference, it tracks perfectly straight and has no more basketball bounce on the highway.
They look good and are really quiet for an AT. The Kauffman Tire across the street from where I work has a 10% off deal for employees of local businesses so overall I'm happy.
That's what these are. My experience with Michelin tires has been they're either the best tires you've ever had or they're nothing but problems. I about shit when I saw how much they $cost$
Thanks, I read mostly good about them online but not very many with HD trucks. I'm ditching the stock Michelins tomorrow, they've been horrible. The fronts cupped in less than 7500 miles and I noticed chunks missing from the edge of the tread a few days ago. Now I'm sure one of the rear tires...
You would think someone would have been able to come up with some kind of cheap and plentiful road de-icing product that didn't destroy everything it comes in contact with by now. Glad we don't have to deal with that here.
When I had that 97 dually way back when, I took the wheels off one side to fix a botched brake job. The last lug nut comes off and all that crap falls off, spacers go everywhere and the wheels are rolling away. Putting it back together without six hands is almost impossible.
Did the 7500 mile maintenance deal today. Used Mobil 1 extended performance 5w20 and a motorcraft filter, rotated the tires. I'll go the full 7500 miles on the next oil change.
I don't think I'll be doing that in the garage again. 275/65/20 wheels and tires have to weigh 130# each....damn those...
Pins and bushings were notorious for wearing out and causing that along with the anti-rattle clips. It drove me nuts on the 06 so one day I got pissed and replaced everything.
The good news is that brake parts for those trucks are relatively cheap.
edit...
