Give the Titan's time. Not too much more, but a little more. We've had various sets of them that arrived here on new tractors and a skid steer. I won't argue what you said about the pulling or driving performance of them other than they do vibrate some on the road, just not as bad as the Dyna Torque II's. The problem we've had is that the casings will never wear out their lugs. They don't carry their rated loads before the blow, and in 7-8 years of daily or regular use, the sidewall will come out of them. That's been the fate of every Armstrong/Titan tire we've ever had, and the casing didn't necessairly look bad when it blew. They go when least expected.
The Dyna Torque II's haven't been entirely trouble free, but it's been very little trouble, and they've got some serious age on them before they rot. Thing with most DT II's is that they wear out before they have a chance to blow.
Thus far, the best value we've had from any set of tires was a pair of Firestone Radial All Traction 23 Degree's. Pushing 2500 hours of use, many on the asphalt, most overloaded, and still around 50%. Dollar for dollar, the best tires we ever bought.
Give the Titan's a bit more time. Their day will come.
