Michelin......Period.

The question is if you want to pay the price for them. They are overpriced IMO even though they are better tires.
Yes, Michelin makes a great on road tire, no doubt about it and I don't think anyone can make a a valid argument against them. Now, if they'd only make a tire that didn't look like it belonged on a minivan then I could start considering them for my own trucks.

Yes, I meant a 325/85/16 that maxes out at 62MPH That is a heck of a tire though, does "Full width belt protection" mean that they're bias ply?

^^ Those are some cool tires. We run them on our LMTVs at work and you'd be amazed at what they can do. I seen these tires take these 7+ ton trucks though some sloppy crap that some built civilian trucks would have problems with. But I still don't think that was what the OP was looking for.
