Got mine installed yesterday. Easy to install but they do whistle slightly. I'm always blasting the stereo anyhow, so it doesn't bother me. I think they look great! Very beefy.
S. Cal here too. I'm paying $208/mo. with Costco insurance. Rip-off but the best I could find. Tesla Insurance was even higher. Perfect driving record too. I drive 15k/yr
I might try the new Michelin Defender LTX Platinum. LTX are a great tires but haven't looked aggressive enough for trucks. They've changed the sidewall appearance recently. They don't have the most aggressive tread pattern for offroad, but they look like they'll get good range and low noise...
