My Dodge Cummins has the same weight problem when empty. During hunting season, I'll have a stock rack on it to haul my llamas and it makes a huge difference.
I bought it used in '12 from a dealer. The dealer had put a set of Goodrich Rugged Trail A/T's on it before putting it on the lot. I have about 25k on them now and they're holding up pretty good. I should get about 50k out of them.

You guys running the Cooper AT3's on heavy (3/4 ton) trucks. How is the road noise level?

We're happy with the Firestone Destinations on our pickup. Best mud tires I have ever owned! When my current set wears out I will be buying another set.

I had the Firestone Mud Tires on my last patrol truck..I would have to agree, they are excellent. That being said, still more than I am wanting to spend.

I hear ya on the cash. Those premium mud tires (goodyear, firestone etc.) ain't cheap.
I bet those Wrangler AT/S's will be just fine for what you want. A/T tires are a compromise but will probably get the job done 99% of the time and usually do better on the street.
I've owned Wrangler S's but never the AT/S's.

I will never run anything Good Year again. I've had three (yes three sets), with multiple problems. Two sets were the AT/S you speak of. This was a few years ago but it soured me on anything Good Year from then on. YMMV.
Cooper ST Maxx are going on my truck next.

I will vote cooper AT3, I have one year and 35k on my set. They are rated for 55k and I have no doubt they will make that. There is some road noise but to me they seem a bit more aggressive than your typical all terrain tire. I will buy them again.

I did a bunch of research on tires when I put some on my excursion. I settled on the pro comp xtreme at. they are deeper than just about anything aside from a swamper or bogger and very quiet. They have a 50k warranty and are not very expensive.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.
