I saw one post years ago talking about it but I haven't seen anyone run this?

I've had great experiences with my grabbers on my truck but I really doubt these tires would stack up to some Continentals, Michelins or Nittos.

Imo judging by the tread on the tire above it looks like the stock pirellis and traction would be light. The nittos, Michelins, would have better traction. I suppose it depends on what you’re trying to accomplish or get out of the tires.

Maybe for just an everyday driver tire they might be fine, or just some front tires but idk

I had a set of General G-Max 6 years ago, not sure if it's the same as the RS. They were VERY grippy and I had no complaints until they were worn down to about 50% tread, then the tire noise became unbearable and I replaced them.

My current tires are just some random brand and at first they were amazing and now that I have worn down the treads a little bit they are getting to that point.

That has me curious why they would get noisier at lower tread depth.

I just assumed that deeper treads were the noisiest, in reference to the big knobbly tires on 4X4's, for example, not that that is a scientific or direct comparison.

Were they the same rubber at the depth or the "warranty claim avoiding rubber" that is super-hard, that appears after the grippy "make the sale" rubber on the surface is worn off?

Not sure, my guess is the tread pattern and/or the tire compound. Its not unusual for tires to transmit more road noise as the tread wears down because there's less rubber to buffer the noise, I've just never had a set of tires that made that much difference as the tread wore down.

I have a full set on my wide body with about 10k miles on them. They’ve just been used on the street and I’ve done a few donuts in the rain once.

They’re currently at about 5-7/32 depending on which set you measure (they directional so you can’t swap sides).

Grip has been much better than the stock all seasons, obviously. Traction is decent. In good weather, it’ll spin a bit in 2nd but will hook when it’s hot out and it’s pulling a bit of power. I haven’t noticed any excessive road noise either.

Michelins will probably be a bit better but for the cost difference, I’m happy with my set. That being said, I’ll probably try Michelin out next just to see if they’re worth it.
