Great tire with room for improvement
Installed a new set of BDRs on my 3500hd dually after burning through several sets of factory 17inch dually tires. I was hoping the 19.5 blackhawk tires might be a more durable fit for my truck. I knew going into the new tire/wheel combo I might be giving up a little ride quality, but didn't exact a drastically different handling quality and noise. At about 43mph these tires sing loud.. not ideal. Also, I believe that because of the deep thread, the roads that I have always traveled at 50mph, I now need to slow around turns as it feels a little loose. Aside from that, the tires look good
