Yes, on our Nissan Navara which we use to tow our 2.7 tonne caravan.
They are reasonably quite for a light truck all terrain tyre. To say they will last any better then the tyres the Nissan come with no about the same.
What ever they were Bridgstone/Goodyear lasted 55000 ks, the Flaken now have 45000 ks, will get 10 to15000 ks maybe more, first lots tyres wore sort of evenly to end which I blamed the production line wheel alignment for the edge wear. The Flaken are wearing fairly well, not great but OK.
Starting to think before we go away on a fairly long tour in March 2019 I will probably buy a new set of tyres, they will be a more road style patterned tyre, instead of saving $50 a corner I will go to about the $260 mark as I orignally intended but I had brought a second hand caravan and was throwing money at it faster then I would of liked, thus I saved a dollar threw cents away.
Michelin is my choice at the moment, my thoughts only.
Hope this helps in some way.

Had a set of brand new Falken tyres fitted to our Falcon XR6 a few years back.
They wore out very quickly.
Recently got a full set of Yokahama Delivery Star light truck tyres fitted to our caravan.
Just completed a 3,500km trip around Outback NSW, didn't even wear the little new tyre nipples off them.
