But how long will they last? The cost-per-mile is high for a number of tire types with 3/4 & 1T pickups due to their weight and intended use. The fuel savings offset may not be there when placed in context.

And I'm not seeing the 113 Load Index as being consistent with GAWR, GVWR or GCWR given a prudent margin (15%) as recommended. It is a good 20% below the 121 tires in load carrying capacity.

The tread design looks great, however. On an SUV that doesn't get much above 6k or that tows up to medium-sized TT's it may be fine.

It's all I'll have to say on this. Your truck and your tires.
