A bud ruined one of the OEM tires and damaged another one on his Sierra 1500 two years ago while hunting in CO and wound up with a new set of LTs on that truck (only set the rural dealer had in stock).
He's beeched and moaned about them ever since, due to slightly less MPGs and a rougher ride (in his opinion), plus the cost of the tires.
His choice at the time: Take what the dealer had to offer, or be without a truck until another set of tires could be shipped in and lose a day or two of hunting time out there.
I've had a few trucks over the years that I ran LTs on, but now mostly stick with whatever type of tire came on the truck when new. Probably because I'm older, squeakier and less adventurous?
