I'm not running a dually but I had those tires (same size) and they were great for towing and hiway use. IIRC they had over 70k miles on them when I replaced them in January of 2022 with Michilen Defenders.

Both model of tires did excellent on dry & wet roads as well as snow. Neither are very good for mud. IMO good performance in mud requires a tire that won't work well for towing. The Defenders seem to be a little less noisy. These are my experience with my truck. YMMV
