So I recently did my second 5k rotation on the Toyo RT Trail Tires (295/70R18) I've installed. After 10k miles and all kinds of terrian and road conditions, I am very surprised how little wear they have showing. In fact, I think this might be the best wearing large off road tire I've seen on a 1500.
These tires are expensive at $425 apiece. But I like the look and performance they give me. They are load range E 10 ply rating, so they can do the job in severe duty applications. The ride quality is really good and no added noise.
About the only complaint I have is that the tires feel like they want to push a little in higher speed corners. They don't push, but I feel like I have a lot of input on the steering wheel at 70 mph. It's probably due to larger size and wider stance than the tire itself.
Gas mileage was not affected and acceleration is still good. I can still light these tires up in manual when I'm above 3000 rpm.
I cross them when I rotate and haven't needed to rebalance them. Here's some pictures of front and rear tires at 10,500 miles. You can see some wear on the outside edge if the shoulder lugs, which is always present on big tires with offroad lugs. Also you can see there is hardly any trend wear, as the little lip on the surface lugs is still there.
