They come in a e range and aren't so aggressive they beat you up or are loud. But enough to give you good traction in wet grass or sand

Tires are quiet unlike most A/T tires This tire will be more expensive than most of your cheap import tires but will easily last 80,000 my buddy has over 90,000 miles on his and is a ways from the wear bars. This is assuming you have a good alignment, Although i do not pull extremely heavy loads with my truck i would expect they do just fine.
the following two links on tire rack have customer reviews and overall results of ratings the LTX speaks for itself

I went with the Michelin LTX M/S at NTB, they are have stopped making that tire and NTB is selling those things cheap . Got six with all the whistles and bells for $1250....If anybody needs some tires for your dually check into this deal quick, they are going fast
