Need help picking tires

I am looking for a good al around at tire. I looked at the Uniroyal Laredo AWT, and the Nokian AT. Any suggestions or opinions on these two brands or any others would be appreciated.

And please do not suggest BF Goodrich AT's. I despise those tires.

Are you goin to be doin lots of freeway driving or just to the farm and back goin hunting. The best all around tire that i have used is the Michelin XC LT4. do lots of freeway driving to the hunting camp and back when i get to the mud and the dirt they hold there own. Get really good millage on it. I have about 40 on mine and they still have a good 10 to go. Its a good tire.

What do you guys think about the Dunlop Radial Rover RV?
Classic All-terrain tread.
Do they wear well and have decent traction??

well its been awhile and i think that the pirelli scorpion a/t's are one of the best a/t tires around. i think that they will hold there own with any a/t tire. But that is just my opinion. They havent let me down yet and i dont have a bad thing to say about them except it is hard to keep the right rear.

I don't think that the Pirelli is available in sizes greater than 265/75 or available higher than load rating C.

The dunlops are available in 285/75 D's, which are good for the superduty!

I had some Uniroyal Laredos before, they were a good all around tire. Now I have Firestone Steeltex A/T's and they are a great all around tire.
