I have always used Michelin Defender LTX M/S on my GMC diesels. I never have had a problem with them. I have had a broken belt on 2 of the tires that came with the trucks. I haul a 40'TT all over this country and have put 100s of thousand miles on them w2ith no problem and yes I get mine at Costco.
The one rule I have for my tires is a every oil change I rotate and BALANCE. If you do not balance these big baloneys they will turn on you.
Balancing a set of tires every 5k miles giver take is about as silly as it gets. But to each those own.
If you want to save some real $, consider this. You are likely in the .0001% minority that does this and the rest of the world ain't wrong in this instance.
