High end G's are recorded & possible in controlled/maintained track surface environments. Not so much on the state/city maintained road surfaces.

Those are 380 treadwear, I would think that .80, maybe .85 is all they're good for with normal truck suspension.
As far as old cars/trucks go, I've only seen lateral grip test results posted by Mark Stielow's "Jackass 2.0" Camaro that does 1.15g on 200tw BF Goodrich Rival tires. A thing to note about modern 200tw tires- they're labeled 200tw just to pass class rules, they're much stickier than traditional 100tw track tires. So going by treadwear isn't a good indication of how much grip a tire will have.
Here is a list of cars and the amount of grip they have for comparison.
