I don't have experience with those particular tires, but I having had both brands and have had good experience with both, but somewhat better wear with the Bridgestones.
Not trying to hijack your thread, but I wonder if the people with an opinion on these tires might also have an opinion to share about how different tire sizes perform on the 4x4 superduty. I am also in the market for new tires and I think my stock 265/75/16's look a little dinky, but I don't want to do too much damage to fuel economy or power. By the way, I have a 3.73 rear end. What's the optimum size?

My vote would be the Wranglers due to the success I've had with the Wrangler's on my PSD. I've got 40k miles on my 275/65R20's and they still have at least half tread left. My dad has the Bridgestones on his Duramax and their almost completely bald at only 33k miles. He's trying to buy the Silent Armor's based on how well my tires have worn.

I had the Revos in 16" on an 02 F250. Not impressed with traction. Have had several sets of Goodyear Wrangler AT on a 90 F150 4x4, great all around tire.
I have a 05 F250 with 18" rims that I will be putting the Goodyear rubber on this fall.

I have installed the Goodyear Silent Armor 10 ply tires on both of my F250 Superduties and absolutely love them. I also considered buying the Bridgestone revos, but a friend of mine who had them said although they provided good traction, the tread wore down WAY too quickly. I plowed A LOT of snow with one of my trucks last winter and the Goodyear SA tires still look like new.

just had the GoodYear Wrangler with Silent Armour installed on my truck last Thursday. So far I've put 1000 miles on them and can't complain. They ride smooth and quiet. I talked to a lot of people prior to the purchase about them and they all said it was the best tire they've bought yet.

I have the Goodyear Silent Armor Pro Grade 325/60R18s on my 07. 12,150 miles on them since April (I ditched the stock Conti's as soon as I got the truck) and they are wearing great. I take advantage of the free tire rotation and get them rotated every 5000 miles.
Love the tires, they kick butt in the rain and snow, very low road noise and hardly pick up any gravel compared to a lot of other AT tires.
A good portion of my miles are with 1000-3000lbs in the back and/or towing 5-11k.
I also have the Silent Armors on the 99 F-150, have 25,000 miles on them hardly show any wear.

But how do the Goodyear SA's do in mile offroad situations? I take my truck through the fields to get to my hunting stands and want a tire that will get me out, unlike the stock Conti's or AT's couldn't!
I'm not looking to fo mudding or anything, just want to be able to get out when the fields get a little wet and I park around the edges for a while...

I've had them in dirt, wet grass, mild mud, and sand. Towed a trailer full of plants out of the middle of a wet nursery (dirt roads) before. No complaints.
They obviously don't throw the mud that a M/T will, but better than just about any AT, IMO.

I vote for Bridgestone DuelerAT Revo 285/75/16 D load 8 ply if that is the size wheel you have. I pull a gooseneck frequently w/70 hp tractor and 15' bushhog. I have no problem with power, swaying or traction. They are not a mud tire so they will spin on wet grass and dirt. But will pull themselves very well. I put 62k on them and should have put more.
