I've put 750 miles on the tires and like the way they ride and quiet.
But..... they only had 275/65r18 in stock, stock size on the truck was 275/70r18. I wasn't thinking too much about the difference in size until the 8 hour drive home yesterday and the speedometer being off which sort of bothers me but certainly not the end of the world.
Here is a pic of the display both at 70 mph (used my gps to see what was 70mph).
The 275/65r18 is reading 3mph faster than actual speed. Slightly high rpm of 150+/-.
I'm going to have to fix it, noway will I be able to do endless hours of driving and have it off by that much.
I see on Amazon I can get a FORScan OBD Adapter for the laptop $51. I guess I'll be learning a little Forscan in the near future.
On a side note I had extra reflectix left over from doing the rv windows. Now on the job site in the desert a little extra shade to help cool the inside of the truck.
Today I picked up a nail in a rear tire. Lucked out and noticed it at the hotel parking lot this afternoon so no early morning flat tire surprise. Couldn't be repaired because not enough tread depth left. Wanted another 5k or so miles out of them... oh well. Going to try these Cooper Discoverer ATP II. I'll see how the mileage is with these. 150,579 miles on truck.

An update on these Cooper Discoverer ATP II tires now at 177,577 or 26,998 miles on them. They've been rotated twice so far. The tread depth and wear pattern are looking great.
I've liked them enough to get a set for the '16' dually tomorrow, those tires in desperate need of replacement badly.
Currently have the Goodyear Kevlar Adventure with only 29,050 miles after 3 years. I usually rotate the fronts to the inside rear about 1/2 way through their life because with the front dauls have a tendency to wear the outer edge from being pushed going foward in turns from the rear dual tires as can be seen with these tires. This is excessive and normally don't let them get this bad, notice the cords showing.
The rears weren't bad at all just getting near the wear bars.
