Immediately noticed greater stability, a softer and smoother ride and increased traction after replacing the worn all terrains of a brand I can't recall. Only instant dislike is that they are a little louder.
These tires were installed on a 2002 Ford Excursion 7.3 diesel with 18" wheels on 2006 Super Duty axles, steering and suspension using Icon 2.5" coils in front and 5" Pro Comp leaves without blocks in the rear. The front tires rub slightly when turning, but only on non-level terrain. We used bungee cords to retract the wheel wells so they no longer rub.
We have towed with these tires and have had no issues. The improvement in ride quality has been surprising. The tread is deeper and more aggressive in person than they seem in photos.
Our local shops said these tires were unavailable in the U.S. but we found them from Walmart for a better price than Amazon and they were delivered in a few days. Delivery left them piled in the middle of our driveway and it would have been great had they been stacked, leaned, or at least put to the side.
Purcell charged us about $30 to mount and balance each tire. They did not tell us how many ounces any of the tires required but so far they have been perfectly smooth even at interstate passing speeds of over 80 mph.
The tread wear warranty is 60,000 miles and it is hard to imagine such a soft, smooth riding tire could last that long under a heavy truck. So far, these are our favorite farm truck tires and we would buy them again over Yokohama Geolandar A/Ts, Cooper Discoverer AT3, Pro Comp All Terrains, Toyo A/Ts, Toyo M/Ts, Goodyear and BFG All Terrains.
