To answer you question about the tires, I love them.
Its my second set, had them on my old Sierra and then it was the first thing I bought when I got the truck.
I cant use em in AK winters because at -40 the rubber compound gets too hard, and since I have a nasty hill and driving in winter is essentially driving on an ice rink.
Other than that, they wear down evenly, relatively quiet on hwy considering the size, easy to balance, and handle exceptionally well for an AT off road.
In the spring and summer i treat my truck like an ATV, so these tires get beat up pretty good
