How do these tires stack up against more typical E-rated tires from Discount Tire? Do they get as good of traction? How much do they weigh? Do they affect your mileage much?

Thats because your truck doesnt make enough power to wear them out.

these tires are load range H rated at 6400 lbs.....see the rickson link I provided at the top post

anyway the only downfall is they are stiff and roughin up the ride a bit

traction was great

no highway noise more so than normal

they are heavy.....like 3x that of any 16" tire ya have

milage was about the same as with my 16" tires on
