Smile Anyone have these tires on their TV? Kumho Crugen HT51

I will need new tires soon, and while I love the Michelin Defender LTX tires I've been using for years, I see these tires are very highly rated on Tire Rack, and I could save quite a bit of money.

https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...0LT285%2F60-20

Before you tell me that the Michelin tire is the better tire, please only give me your opinion if you've used both, because I already know the Michelin is a great tire. I have gotten thousands of miles more than the guarantee, and despite the tread getting a little low, they still work great.

Thanks in advance!

The tire you identified on the Tire Rack site specifies it as a "light-duty pickups, vans, crossovers and sport utility vehicles". My experience with trucks and now RV's is that nothing is Light Duty. When you need the performance to count, nothing is adequate unless it is more than enough.

The tire I linked to is load range E, it's going on a Dodge Ram 2500.

I'm also interested in these Cooper tires, as I will be crossing over Mt Hood to go home on the weekends from work and it is a more aggressive tire with a slightly lower cost (also load range E).

Typically if they are rated high on Tirerack they are going to be good tires. Tirerack is my 'go to' site before I buy any tires.

If you pick a tire in the top 3 of any category you will be happy with them.
