If you were hauling a camper on the back, or towed a HEAVY trailer I would seriously consider them, They are supposed to drive much better, sidewalls stiffer, and wear sooo much longer it is not funny.
Defiantely makes a SRW more tow friendly. (I went to the dually for legal reasons, I would have gotten the ricksons for my 99 if I didnt.) there was a set in the "For sale" section for a good price a while back!

I dont belive they ride bad empty either,, you could adjust the air pressure to the load I guess,,

Lasting milage? Or fuel milage? Both could improve somewhat,, They are a much harder compound so they wear well,,,they are narrower than stock , less rolling resistance, and maybe taller, so could change the gear ratio a bit!

I'm running them because my rear axle weight can reach 7000 lbs with a loaded camper, and load range E tires are not enough. I didn't do any mileage comparisons. I wouldn't buy them unless you plan on carrying very heavy loads, but then they are worth it for the safety and the peace of mind.
