I believe testing tires is not conclusive unless it is performed on the vehicle I own.
Wheelbase, curb weight, etc. This where MySt shines. The people that own the same truck with "hands on" knowledge. Can a decision be made when testing is done on "another" vehicle? Hmmm.
I have narrowed my choice to these two models. Priority is ride, handling, and road noise.
Fuel mileage, durability, and pricing comparatively close, as I've read. I am favoring the "Latitude Tour", Michelin describes as their newest and "flagship" tire in this class.
I will never be off roading or in snow, although heavy rain is frequent in Hawaii.
Also appreciate input increasing the stock 235 MM width to 245 or 255 using stock 16" rims and the "70" profile. I am "dropped" 3 inches using torsion keys and lowering blocks.
Would "fender burn" be an issue? Want to avoid wheel spacers if possible.
Thanks again guys, your input is "priceless".
