Makes a huge difference and most are not familiar with it.
Let's face it,tire choice is everything when it comes to summer or winter driving or both,especially with a 2WD dually..That's the question the op asked but it was about summer tires..These Cooper AT-3's wear so good un-siped,they surely would be my choice for a summer tire with a 60K mile warranty..
I have nothing but good to report for there use in snow and ice siped but time will tell on there longevity siped.
While Cooper and even Toyo's get a bad rap on the internet because there not a Goodyear/Michelin or Firestone,there a danged good tire usually at a better price that some of us need..Just like the Torklift versus Happi jack..Torklift is a great product but the price is breath taking which makes the Happi jack an alternative at a lower price with the right truck/camper combo.
