Yes and no. There are a lot tires I've paid "premium" prices for only to be unsatisfied with the performance or life span. My last truck needed tires but I wasn't planning on keeping it for long. I put on a set of Kuhmo Road Venture AT51. They were the cheapest LT rated tires on Tirerack but also had very good customer ratings. I've got to say they are the best damn truck tires I've had! Traction, handling, smoother ride and wear are all fantastic. I put about 15k miles on them before I traded my truck in. The new truck had Firestone TransForce Has on it and they were awful! Rode hard and were downright dangerous in the rain. I replaced them in the first week with another set of Kumhos- got them from Amazon for $130 each for LT285/70/17 with free shipping.
