So far so good.
F-250
I rotate and balance the tires on my 2020 F-250 SD every 10,000 miles. These tires hold consistent pressure, with expected fluctuations due to cold/hot weather. I have been a MIchelin user for over 50 years, and these are the best I have ever put on my vehicle!

Tires do not do well on wet roads
R1T
These tires have offered a much smoother and quieter ride as well as higher efficiency than the OEM tires they replaced. Really pleased with them
Sierra 2500 HD
Tires are noisy and rough riding. The prior Defender model was much better. Would not buy these again
