Thank you for the feedback on tires for my one ton pickup truck. Yes my current tires are from 2001 so its way past time to change them.They still have lots of tread as measured by a guage but rubber deteriorates with time. I have learned from your comments and further online research and what I have come to realize is that there is no one tire that can do it all, despite manufactures claims. In the past there was summer tires and then winter or off road tires. Now they sell "all season" tires which attempt to be both summer and winter tire, but one tire can't do it all when on a heavy duty pickup.
I am willing to pay more for a tire that is up to the task of carrying a payload.
I haven't made my final choice but my research from online websites and talking to several tire dealers is that you get what you pay for in tires and Michelin is the highest rated time over time.
Any more feedback especially any real world experience from truck camper folks is appreciated.
Matt
