Dueler Revos

I used to run these chinsy hankook things that came with my truck by the previous owner. I liked them despite not being very aggressive looking they had pretty good traction. In a bind I bought me some dry rotted junk 31" offbrand tires (stupid yea I know but they were cheap!) and they did ok for a winter for me.

Swapped on my dueler revos (not revo 2 btw) I picked up a few years back and only ran as a summer tire. Im not sure wtf the deal is, but these things are soooo squirmy at highway speed its horrible. I dont remember them being this bad before but by now its insane. I literally spent a good chunk of change rebuilding my frontend (everything is new including a-arm bushings) and these damn tires no matter who has aligned it (3 different shops and the last one 3x and I saw the printout-all in spec). The truck wants to drive me off the road into the fast lane and over 40mph the truck is squirmy. I gave up and just dropped psi in the pass tire and upped it in the right to sorta balance it out for now. tires have about 5k on them, not cracked or dryrotted or anything, all balance well and I tried to find if a tires was pulling to no avail.

Fast forward to last week, we have a 2011 GMC 2500Hd at work, boss got dueler revo2's and an alignment and wouldnt you know same damn thing-drives you off the damn road? Truck previously had stock firestone transforce HT on it. Are these tires just squirmy or something??? Anyone had these issues?

My T100 has 265/75/16 on 16" mickey thompson wheels and the work truck has stock 17" wheels with E rated revo 2s (forget the exact size)

I ran them for a few years. I had the metric equivalent of 31x10.5. I liked them and never had any issues like you are describing. They were on a ford explorer.
