Anyone run these tires from what Ive read they have great traction in a straight line but they have soft sidewalls and feel mushy in corners. Wondering if anyone has put these on a heavy truck before or used year round

That's what I have on the '86. Great traction. Not real sure about being mushy in the corners, really don't drive that fast, except in a straight line. But for what I have experienced they are really a good tire. Price is pretty good too. Btw, I'm running 275/60/15 out back and 255/60/15 up front.

I have these on my truck and they are the best tire I have ever had. I havent had an issues with it being mushy. Very good wet and dry traction. I have 275/60/16 and they fit nice and look great.
pics of my truck are atthe link below.
