These tires are on a 2wd truck that is used for the whole gamut of truck stuff - towing 3500# camper from Maine to TN, car trailers, towing at the upper limit around locally for construction, heavy (over) loaded, and 20hr drives on vacations. Nice that my size has an XL higher weight rating then norm, so it generally has good
stability at all speeds. Have had Firestone Wilderness AT and General Grabber AT previously - liked the Firestone for the first 1/2 of tread, but wet traction and hydroplaning performance diminished quickly afterwards. The Grabber wet traction did not diminish as quickly nor as badly as the Wilderness, but handling was noticeably squirmy especially when new. The Rotiiva AT so far is better than both - wet traction is still good, and hydroplaning remains a non issue. Winter criteria is better than any AT I’ve used yet. First set with no flats - lucky or Kevlar??!! Will be on short list to buy again if still available.
