In my opinion, the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo is your best bet. I had a set on my '01 F250 Super Duty and let me tell you, that tire has it all. Quiet; rides nice; incredible traction dry, wet, mud, snow; handles great; 50,000 mile treadwear warranty; 30 day trial; and it comes in load range E. Nothing else comes close. I had mine on the truck for 20,000 miles before I traded it and still had about 70% of the original tread left. BTW, about 5000 of those miles were spent pulling a 12,000 lb gooseneck horse trailer.

The Tire Rack has them in E range for $149/tire. If you check your local Bridgestone/Firestone dealer, you may be able to get them for near that price. When I bought mine, they were on a 4 for 3 sale, so I only paid about $530 mounted and balanced for the set.

I just put Goodyear AT's on mine, 305's on 10 inch Mickey Thompsons. Cost about a grand. Pulls like a train now, but milage suffers a little and the ride is not as smooth. I kept the stock wheels and tires and plan to use them on trips, etc.

I would love to look into the Revos. But the only guy close to me is Les Schwab. I've been very happy with their tires so far, and will stick with them. Their service is second to none, and since there is no one else within 50 miles, there's a ton of value right there.

That one is huge with me........service. Most important thing after you buy a product.

FWIW My truck came with BFG Rugged Trail TA's in E rating. Despite a fairly aggressive tread IMO they are next to worthless in mud. I have almost gotten stuck 3 times on a flat 50 foot stretch of two track trail with a minor amount of mud in them. The gaps fill quickly and wa-la you're driving racing slicks.

I bought the revos for my old truck and they were great. I seriously considered switching them to the new truck since they only had 5000miles on them but I just ran out of time. I tow an 8000# travel trailer and the sidewall stiffness was also very important for me (thats why I did not go with BFGs). My old 4x2 superduty had no problems all winter with those tires (well there was that one time I tried to take the truck on a snowmobile trail
