Which tires?

Hey guys i have an 88 f250 that i am looking to get some new tires for. I am looking at cooper discoverer a/t3 and bfgoodrich a/t ko all terrain tires. I was wondering which one is better. Which one will last longer? Which will perform better off road? Which will get better gas mileage? Any advice would be a help.

Nov 2008 Consumer Reports on SUV/truck tires...for the best gas mileage, look at the rolling resistance ratings:

I have a set of BFG AT T/A KO on my Mazda 4x2. It's a very popular tire among truck enthusiasts. Looks great and rugged, but is overpriced IMO. Not very good on ice either. Gravel can make the tires noisy too.
