Default Which tires to buy?

I want to thank those who provided their opinions on going to a bigger tire. Now for my second question...

I live in Pennsylvania and we get our fair share of snow. I am trying to decide which brand of tire to put on my Silverado. The Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo is nice although a bit pricey as is the BFG All-Terrain TA KO.

This is the first time I had to buy tires for a truck and I had a bit of sticker shock. I would like to get the best all-terrain tire that handles well in snow without spending a small fortune. I'm not sure if that is even possible. Any suggestions?

As with most things, you get what you pay for ...

That being said, take a look at Pro-Comp tires ....I know quite a few people who have them ...everything from their AT's to their mudders ...and they seem to be happy with them.


Eastern or Western PA?

How much are you wanting to spend and what size tire are you wanting to run was it the 265 or 285 and is it 16 or 17 inch wheels? Thanks

eastern PA.

I was given a price of just under $600 for the Dueler A/T Revo. I have only got a price for the BFGs off the internet.

I want to put 265 75 16s on.

I have the Kuhmo AT and they do well on the road, same as any other AT off road, last forever, and are very inexpensive. If money is a concern, then I recommend them. If not then BFG mud terrain are great as well. I like them better better than the procomp and the always beat out the procomp in testing.

i used to recommend bfg all terrains to everybody and their mother, but later into their life cycle, im not impressed at all with the tread wear... i think im a little hard on them though, considering two are significantly balder than the others from trying to pull a buddy out of a mudhole in two wheel drive from rocks (i thought i had blown something up it was smoking so bad)

My last Dodge truck, i put 265 x 75 x 16's,Yokohama Geolander HT/S, and they were right around $120.00 Ea, mounted and balanced. They were an excellent tire all around. Granted i only put 13,000 miles on them then traded the truck but were an excellent tire for the price, and they are a truck / Suv tire, not a car tire. They are made for heavier loads. Thats my .02 worth

I've had a few pairs of BFG A/Ts and don't have to many complaints except for they seem to pick up quit a few rocks and tire life was shorter thanI expected but in their defense I wasn't easy on them driving a stacked Duramax. I would consider BFGs again but I am going to look at other brands first when it comes time for me to buy tires.

BFG All-Terrain, Is the only way to go for a All-Terrain tire,

I like the Good Year MT/R for a mud tire
