if you travel with your truck, this is a great reason to get tires from a reputable nationwide source, with a good hazard warranty. there are three or four national chains i can think of off the top of my head, and afaik they all carry the major brands, but an original purchase at a national chain (generally) means you can go to any of their other stores if you dont like the place you originally bought them, or you can go to a store out of state if youre traveling.
the experience you have at a particular shop really depends on the people there, not the brand (to a certain degree like dj said).
