My Grand Cherokee has a set. Got alot of miles (50,000) on them with a little tread left. Don't think I will go with them next time. Looking for something with more aggressive treads.
I have never used them on a truck though...
Good Luck,
Thad

Wranglers are good tires, I'm running Wrangler Territories. the SRA's are decent tires for like a crossover/light suv. Unless your truck never see's anything other than pavement, or light rain, I'd go with dakotajeep's suggestions of getting something more aggressive.

My truck is a 2x4 so it doesn't see much off road use at all. I was just looking for a decent highway tire. Picked up these for $514.34 mount and balanced, out the door. I couldn't pass on the deal. So far they seem fine, no rain here yet.

Only thing I'd to to a 2x4 if I owned one would be to put a LS in the back, and have good aggressive tread, simply for those moments you don't want to get stuck on a wet grassy hill. But thats just me. $514 is a good deal on 4 tires, mine set me back $1100. But I'll be damned if the only times I've ever gotten stuck were when I was on solid ice, or in mud up to my frame.

they are a premium tire and are good but i can not see paying the kind of money they want for Michelins.
i got the firestone transforce A/T a year ago and they seem pretty good.

I will admit I didn't look for ride quality when I was looking at tires, nor money. I was looking at what would add the most capability to my truck. Being up north a bit, I looked at what would provide me with the best winter traction (Looking at Goodyear Duratrac's in the future as a "winter tire"), keep me on the road in torential rain storms, and keep me from getting stuck when I'm playing offroad (Good ole open diffs). As it stands the speed rating of the tire is over what I can do, so I'm happy. Can I feel every bump? Yessir, but I'm young and dumb, and I don't have hemorrhoids like some of our "aged" members.

you must not be anywhere close to seattle, even our best weeks have at least a day of rain, and our worse months never see the sun once, just a solid layer of clouds dumping rain on us
for my van i intend to install a powetrax no-slip unit in my diff (lunchbox locker), and put studded snow tires on the rear. i know this is a hard combination to find, but i want long tire life, load range E, good traction on snow, ice, rain, and dry pavement. any suggestions?

If I was going price is no option I would select Goodyear Duratrac's, they have the option of studding, but from what I've heard you need not bother as they perform amazingly in the winter, with the exception of ice. Lets me honest, what tires do?
Wrangler DuraTrac | Goodyear Tires
goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac Tires - Tire Size & Price Details - 1010tires.com (site seems to be Canadian pricing, even though it's a .com, but it shows the load rating based on the tire size, and most are E)
There are other tires that are good and should do the job as well, but thats my personal choice.
I'm up in the Vancouver area so I appreciate the rain lol. I make sure tires have good sipping, or else I don't touch them.

You'll plow through 3 sets of Wranglers per 1 set of Michelins.
