    I don't need AT, or the price tag that comes with it.
    A decent m/s tread with a reasonable load rating would be adequate.
    I need a reasonably stiff sidewall without the off road headache.

    Guess I’m confused why you can’t find what you want. Did they stop making ten ply in what you want?

    I just put Cooper 10 plys AT on my 2006 F350 (18" rims) and Monroe shocks. Ride is definitely improved. Next week I am going to wash the truck as I can't remember what color it is.

    This new 115-and everything in between-123 load rating is retard.
    I want a decent ride with no howl.
    A stiff enough sidewall to mitigate trailer sway.

    Manufacturers have made simple shit complicated.

    Where’s you finally set the rev limiter at?
    This was at about 8,500. I have been into 11,000 before. I am not sure what went wrong. The keepers are still on. I have stiffer valve springs and titanium retainers. It all looks to be in place still. Stock recline is 9,200.

    The cam in is a regrind profile similar do what DCR does with his. They are fairly ticky with a tight tolerance.

    The passenger cars are the same way. They made this big push to run flats. Now after you hit the pothole you don't blow out a sidewall, instead, you bend or crack a $1000 dollar wheel that's on backorder.

    Or, every car we have will have its own specific tire size. Pick up a nail in that new car tire, we can't plug it because its a run flat, and it is lined with foam so it is acousticly favorable. Oh, it is backordered for 2 months..... enjoy the loaner.

    Simpletire, they usually have good deals and Firestone and discount will price match.

    Installed a deep cycle marine battery in a boat battery box to power auxiallry outlets and a fan and a homemade air conditioner in my pickupbed. I can move the ice chest a/c unit into the rear seat when my best dog rides out!
