Since I am running right up against my GVWR on the truck I have decided to upgrade to 10 ply tires. My choices at this point are Cooper ST Maxx and AT3 and the Nokian Rotiiva AT. I am looking for size LT275/65R18.

If you have any experience with 10 ply tires feel free to provide input good bad or indifferent.

Thanks!

I upgraded to the same size (275/65/18) on our '10 Silverado 1500 CCSB 4x4 with the A/T3's LR C, and was very happy with them! I was also right at the gvwr, maybe a little over, and the C's were night & day different from the stock P rated tires! Never wished I had the LR E's.

While I only had them for 11k miles, they did great in snow, ice (for what a tire can that isn't studded!), rain, and dry roads! I am seriously considering them for our new '13-2500HD, though I may wait a little until the need for tires is closer (only about 7k mi so far on the new beast!). I am afraid to find out how much the stock size replacements will be, (just released from Cooper!) 265/60/20 LR E.
