    I've been running the Yoko 517's since I got this truck. I like them a lot. My oldest pair are at 16/32 with ~ 250k on them. Never really had any serious rock issues. Occasionally ill get one stuck but I've had a habit for years of popping rocks when I see one in my tread.

    I always thought of Hankooks as a cheap tire. I tried some of their performance tires on my car and they were junk. I did not expect their truck tires to last as long as they did. So in that regard,.. I would happily go with the DL07's again,.. they were much less than the Yoko 517's.

    I'm purchasing my second set as we speak. The old ones aren't the mc2. I put a bolt through one belt, irregular wear on 2. Pot hole put a hurting on a fourth. No point in being cheap. RR is 107. Getting them through England Logistics account at TA for 335 each. I put over 100k on mine. Probably 10/32 left, but I'd hate to only change 4. TA giving me 60 each on 6. I know they'll sell them at 200 each, but I like all my tires to have even wear. Previous owner of my truck put around 100k on them also. Id say they're good for 300k. I highly recommend them. Also mine don't spit out rocks, but it's rare to see more than one per tire, if that. I hope this helps.
