I have a 2019 Laramie. Suspension is all stock. 95% highway driving in New York, so four seasons with some snow. I am looking to replace my stock tires, Goodyear Fortitude 275/65-18 ( weighs 37 pounds). Two tires I'm considering are the Good Year Steadfast HT (42 pounds) or the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 (50 pounds). These two tires have different load ratings, and the Michelin is a heavier tire, which will decrease my fuel mileage, I assume. From the reviews I have read, these are my choices.



Does anyone have either of these tires on their truck? If so, what are your thoughts?

I just put the Michelins on my '24 Limited about six weeks ago and no issues so far... smooth ride, quiet and good wet traction. I'll find out about winter/snow performance soon enough, but they're very well regarded tires on this forum and around the internet, so I'm not really concerned.
 
Thanks, Disarm. They are highly regarded. Tire Rack had a good article that included this tire recently. If you had stock tires prior, have you noticed a difference in fuel economy? The Michelins are about 50 pounds each, and the stock tires are usually lighter.
