Good tires for the winters up here on the Kenai Peninsula. I expected a lot of road noise from these tire on smooth, dry roads, but NOPE. These tires are really quiet. I got these tires for my 2003 2500HD Silverado which has the stock tire size as 245 75 16, and the tires I bought were the 265 75 16. They fit great with plenty of room on a stock Chevy truck with no rubbing on the fender. These tires track great on the highway and they don't get stuck in the road ruts. The only negative I have with these tires is they don't do great on the ice. My truck will fishtail on ice with these tires, and stopping distance on ice is about average. But, these are all-season tires. Actual soft snow tires would be best for icy roads, but then you have to pay $200 a year putting them on and off, and you have a place to store tires. There are holes in tread of these tires for installing studs for driving on ice, but I just drive slower. Not sure it would be worth having the studs installed.
For a load range E "jack of all trades" tire that excels in mud and snow, this is probably the best tire to put on your truck, and well worth the price. Very happy, and will buy the Wrangler DuraTrac again.
