I run the same tires, absolutely love them. Hardly any wear and I'm hard on them, and they stick, on a twisty road I run out of nerve before I run out of tire.

Post the link where you got those specs cause i am calling BS.

Can't tell you about dry traction (4.7 quadcab) but those did nicely cornering and in the rain with my dad's old dodge. I remember them being quiet and riding nicely compared to factory 275/55-20 goodyears

You can call BS all you want. I work for a tire dealer. I am not going make up **** about tires. I am not sure if you guys will have clearance to view the web site but I would assume you will.

Most can figure it out but TW is tread width.

I ran the toyo proxes ST II.. They were ok, however they did not last for ****... They wore even, and I never really did any burnouts in them mainly just putted around like a grandpa and they only lasted 20k.... These new hankooks ride 10x better.
