My next tires for the truck will Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10. Dually drivers seems to like them very much across the US and good all terrain usage with good load hauling and mileage.

My front end had to be aligned as well...Started to notice wear around the same milage...
I got the joke from an Italian friend of mine in reference to Italian snow tires

The Michelins on my 07.5 pretty much suck, dry rot cracking on the side walls even the spare. I am looking at the Brigestone REVO's, The dueler AT's (D range 285's at 65 psi all of the way around) on the 96 have been worth thier weight in gold. On the 07.5 I run 75 psi front and rear all of the time and at 28K have no noticable tire wear, they are all 4 at about 60% of useable tire life left, unless the side walls get worse. Michelin says "we have never seen this problem before and there is no warranty on the OEM tires". I have had 2 sets of these that have done the same thing.

The 07.5 is getting a new set of shoes!!!! I have chosen the Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO's, Stock size 265-70R-17's E load range. The Michelins are toast, Warrarty?? I really don't want to wait to see if they will give me any, The suggestion was $90 per tire (still have 8 -10 / 32's on them) but I would have to pay full price for the replacements and wait for the warranty approval.(Kind of flakey) So I will purchase the new tires out right instead and persue warranty some other way.I am looking forward to having them on the truck for pease of mind because I noticed a ply seperation in one of the steer tires last week. the Dueler A/T's on the 96 have held up remarkably well.

I had the Duelers on the Titan and after 65,000 miles I replaced them with the Revo's.After 40,000 I wished I had the Duelers back because wet/Snow/Ice performance dropped off to SCARY so I went back to the OEM duelers after 47,000 miles. I wonder if the LT Revo will wear better?

If I get the wear out of these like I got from the A/T's I will be thrilled. Since it really does not snow or ice here very much I don't feel it will be a problem, concidering what tires I am running currently. As far as wet?? Not real sure that I know much about that. Albuquerque only gets 10" of percipitation per year and usually it only occurs during the summer (July, August and September) in the afternoon for about 20 minutes, I don't think it will be much of a problem. Besides it is not the weather that I worry about or how the tire perform it is the people that do not know how to drive in it. we have a condition here called "Snow Flake Alert" It happens when some one sees a snow flake and it causes such panic that they have to shut the city down.

Sounds like as similar Phenomenon in North Texas where the mere mention of snow and ice cause the masses to swerve into each other and into the ditch!
