One of the main things I wanted was good wet traction. These are worse than the original equipment. Other than that they are great. Can't speak for the mileage yet, but I never do well in that dept. anyway.
Please Be Careful Driving!!!

Bridgestone Dueler A/T's . I've got a set with 61,500 miles on them. You'd go through at least 2 sets of those Goodyear Wranglers before the Bridgestones would need to be replaced.
I've got the "Bridgestone A/T's", great tires. The Wranglers have a decent ride, but the the tread life doesn't hold-up.
...and Dems, did you go through this slip, sliding away thing last year in your truck?

Yes, I have noticed that. the older the tire gets, the worse the traction in wet. I was thinking of switching to Michelin.

Was looking into getting sandbags from Home Depot after the tires.

If you don't like them, sell them to Dems....
My original tires were Generals, but it's been so long since they were on there, I can't really remember how they performed. I do remember I only got about 16K out of them

Even with the best tires, the lite rear-end of your truck breaks-loose in the slightest of slippery road surfaces. By all means get new tires, and load that rear-end down.Yes, every year this time in my truck

And keep your air pressure correct. #1 cause of all premature tire wear.

get a knife and cut the groves deeper. A soldering iron will work also.How might one do this?

You couldn't. No one would do it for you either. They'd take the tires and deepen the grooves with some kinda machine. I remember seeing some with cords showing.How might one do this?
