I had the KO2's on my jeep wrangler and toyota pick up and they performed great. Just not sure about them on a big ol heavy one ton with camper. Costco has the KO3 out the door for 1300 and some change. Includes tires filled with nitrogen.

From the interwebs.

What are the effects of using pure nitrogen to inflate tires?
*  Nitrogen is a gas and is still affected by changes in ambient temperature (about one psi for every 10° Fahrenheit). Nitrogen filled tires will require pressure be added during the fall/winter months as ambient temperatures and tire pressures drop. Nitrogen is good but can't change the laws of physics.
*  Nitrogen reduces the loss of tire pressure due to permeation through rubber over time by about 1/3. This helps maintain the vehicle's required tire pressures a little longer, but doesn't eliminate the need for monthly tire pressure checks. This is good for people who don't maintain their vehicles well.<
*  Nitrogen is a dry gas and will not support moisture that could contribute to corrosion of the tire's steel components (bead, sidewall reinforcement and belts) due to the absence of moisture over extended periods of time. However it's important to remember that atmospheric pressure is constantly pushing oxygen and moisture into the rubber from the outside of the tire. This is especially good for low mileage drivers who don't wear out their tires quickly or those that run average annual mileages but use long wearing radial (60K and 80K warranted) tires.
*  Nitrogen assures more consistent pressure increases due to increases in operating temperatures in a racing environment because of the absence of moisture. This is especially good for participants in track days, high-performance drivers education schools and road racing.
Drivers should use standard air if pressure adjustments are required when a local source of nitrogen can't be found during a trip. While this reduces the benefit of higher nitrogen content, it is far better than running the tires underinflated in search of a source.

I fill mine with 80% N2.

Currently have Michelin Agilis Cross Climate on my dually with cabover.  Not especially aggressive but are 3MS rated.  They've been solid. 

If you run heavy, big tread blocks are a liability between tread squirm and lack of ability to shed heat.

Falken Wildpeak AT are on my one ton. No complaints.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

I to drive a ram 3500 and I just put on my second set of Cooper AT3's, I spend half the time running up & down I5 and the other half in the woods and have not had one issue with them.
