Need Tire Recommendation; Disappointed in Firestone H/T

2016 CTD 2500, 2WD, need for highway use only. No off road, snow, ice, etc. Tow an 8500 lb TT.

VERY disappointed in the original equipment Firestone H/T Tires.

I've got about 23K on them and I'm seriously wondering if they will go another 5K. Looking for something with much tread life.

Thanks, always had good luck with Michelin, but they're pricey. Have not tried Cooper. Looking for something with high tread wear rating.

Michelin Defenders LTX M&S replaced my Transforce AT's at 29K. Quiet and smooth. Would use them again next time. I have around 14-15K on them with 1 1/2 round trips to Arizona. NO overt signs of wear.
