Best tire is very subjective. What is best for your type of driving habits and budget?

Is the lowest price best?
Is off road traction the best?
Is highway smooth and quiet ride the best?
Is tire longevity or maximum traction the best?
Is anti-hydoplaning best?
Is maximum snow traction best?
Is maximum load capacity the best?

After a lot of research, I put Bridgestone LT265/75R16 Dueler A/T Revo tires on my 2001 F-250 at 32K miles (I now own a 2005 F-250 4x4 PS 6.0 w/ 5K miles). I was very happy with them, everything was better then the original rubber. Better ride, improved dry handling, MUCH better wet handling, quieter, and better looking. Plus they were cheaper than the Michelins at SAM's. That truck was a 2x2 but these tires will work very well on a 4x4. When I get new rubber for my 2005, it is going to be these.

Another vote for the Revo....after reviewing them on other sites for about a year, I put them on my F250 SD 4x4 PSF at 30,000 miles. I pretty much wore down the stock Pirellis the first year towing a 5er for 20,000 miles, and with winter coming, I wanted a good tread. Very happy with them.
