I just sold my old 1992 F-150 to my stepson. I put Michelin XC-LT4's on it YEARS ago. They NEVER leaked. Rotated once, they had 60000 on them and still look like they have 60000 more.
90% of tire life is alignment for the way the vehicle is going to be used and based on the geometry of the steering. With an old Ford twin I-Beam, towing the front tires in about 1/2 degree, and cambering out about 1/2 degree with about 2 degrees of negative caster will make the front tires straight and parallel at interstate speeds. Otherwise, those old trucks would eat the inside edges off the fronts in pretty short order if you aligned to factory spec. They handle just a little weird in the city, but most of the mileage on my old truck was highway mileage.
My second preference is the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A. They're made in the same plant with the Michelins. I've worked on the machines that make process the rubber for all components of the tire, core, sidewall, and tread. If there's a better tire than either of those, I haven't had to find it.
