no, not at all these ones are just fine... well i'll just say they were brand new in august, with a tread depth of 0.50", and as of last week i'm measuring a tread depth of 0.17". i'm really freaking impressed and just loving these coopers with their great traction and long life - they've been on the truck a whole 7 months, including one month of sitting while i rebuilt the engine. and they have about 2 months left before they reach their legal wear limit of 0.10".
i will admit they're a highway tread, which doesn't help me off-road. but i expect more than 8 months of service out of a tire before its gone!!!
i'm thinking i'll take a lesson from the heavier truckers and get an aggressive tread on the drive axle and a highway tread on the front end. i also plan to tell the tire shop i want the most durable freaking tire they can order, with a good mileage warranty that means something.

you sound like you're planning to take the axle shaft in somewhere to have the studs pressed in, but wheel studs aren't that hard to press in yourself. just make sure you lube the threads first, then find a spare lug nut or any nut in the right thread size, and a larger nut (or other suitable spacer), slide the large nut over the stud first, then the one that fits it, and tighten it down until the stud is pulled into place.
