[QUOTE="artuza, post: 4312963, member: 51510"] Currently running Falken Wildpeak A/T4W's on my wife's 2018 Silverado 3500 which replaced the factory Michelin All Weather tires at 55K (Factory size was 265/70 - went a tad wider while maintaining the same diameter). Still had usable tread, but traction had degraded to the point where I did not feel comfortable towing long distances - especially in bad weather. Put about 7000+ miles on them so far between WA and OK (8000+ total). Traction is light years better than factory, even when new based on late winter light snow / ice while towing earlier this year. Additional noise is negligible (definitely nosier, but not objectionable). Traction on the Oklahoma gravel roads when they turn extremely muddy and slick in the spring is great. All tires are a compromise. It is just a matter of what your priories are. In my case, traction is definitely #1 over anything else (wet / mud / snow / ice - on or off paved roads). Handling especially while towing heavy is #2. I don't concern myself with mileage / tire life since in my observations, quality auto and LT tires will age out and start loosing traction around the 5-6 year mark regardless. Looking to throw a set of these on my dually here shortly. FWIW. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1723736670043.png"]502539[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
