I've been running the Cooper AT3's on my 1500. They're quiet, long lasting (I've got 30k+ on this current set, more than 1/2 tread left) and do damn good in the snow. A decent proportion of plow trucks in my area seem to be running them and doing well with them.

I have cooper AT3s on truck currently, going on year four and ~80k on em. I just have noticed more noise and they are wearing oddly with cracking now. Tread wise, aggressive for what I need so was trying to down grade to a more road tire.

Well obviously you need swamper TSLs!

Honestly, the AT3 seem to be the tamest/most long lived AT tire I ever used. Those Kumho tires look decent, though.
