Tire--ed of sliding
Well I have had all I can stand of these lousy Baddyear Eagles 30K on them. Last year in the snow this truck was was worse with Posi than my '94 2wd without. If the street is a little wet the *** end is all over the place.
Talked to my mechanic, and he is putting these on my truck tomorrow. He and his partner both are running these and said they stick like glue.

Richard Olsen, a Goodyear engineer who has studied the problem, said in an interview that a nylon belt "keeps the tread and belt from coming off the tire." Still, he says, eventually any type of tire construction will fail and that such belts are only one way to address belt separation.
British tire consultant Richard James Grogan believes nylon belts are the most-effective solution. "There's no question that nylon belts stop tread and belt separation in its tracks."
Mr. Grogan, who often testifies against tire makers in lawsuits, says nylon belts are widely used in Europe, where the technology was developed decades ago to counter forces that tires endure when operated at high speeds, such as on Germany's autobahns. Notably, belt separation isn't a big problem there.

Well the tires got put on yesterday, and today I got up to a nice steady even rain. All I can say is WOW! These tires are great in the rain! It's like driving on dry pavement! A couple of very aggressive launches from the traffic light will cause them to chirp like on dry pavement but no spin like the Eagles. 
Braking is just as good, you can lock them up causing the ABS to kick in but the stops are quick and straight!
