you may not gain 2 mpg but it may help your ride quaility a little, not so much in the front.....in the rear
en BFGs are nice, but i was never a fan of the Long Trail, every set we mounted and sold had balancing or chunking issues

Also my friends dad and another friend have the transforce's on their trucks (one a 2500 HD the other an F250) They have at least 70k with heavy towing on them and they both love them, good traction and very quiet on the road
i doubt if ill need MTs as this thing is just gonna be my DD, i was gonna lift it, but im gonna keep it stock for now

I'm not sure how long it's been since you've bought the truck, but if you just call the dealer, and tell them they put the wrong tires on the truck, they might want to do something for you. Just say something like, "I just wanted to let you know, you put unsafe tires on this truck. I'm going to replace them myself, but you could have gotten in serious trouble if these tires failed earlier on."
got the truck in January after my Z24 couldnt make it back up my hill from the xmas blizzard(not a happy guy at 4am in the morning, the scale/transfer station didnt open that day) i love the cooper ATRs, never used 4wd this past winter
