I have had a set of Michelen LTX AT2's 285/55/20E on my Yukon XL for a year and a half and I have had no issues at all. Been great in the rain, snow, and dry conditions. They are super quiet for an all terrain tire.

I've used up a few sets of BF Goodrich All terrains. always had trouble getting good wear out of them. and god forbid if you get behind on rotation, you'll get vibrations and they'll be history. I eventually out grew the preference for aggressive treads. Switched to the michelin ltx about 4 years ago and my truck has been like a magic carpet ride ever since. Smooth as silk.

not shure how aggressive of a tire your running but I typically run a mt style tire and then have them fully siped, helps the mt style last longer and awesome traction in the winter snow and ice.
Current truck 2500hd crewcab, 285 goodyear duratac's that I had siped and I will not buy another set. I'm under 10,000 miles on them but they are probably half tread already. Awesome traction, work great ..but not worth the cost/wear
I ran cooper discover stt's (fully siped) on my last truck. Had 40,000 miles on them and they were still around half tread, worked excellent. I'm probably getting another set for my crew cab this year and put the duratracs on my plow truck.
Not shure if they make them anymore but I ran dayton timberline mt's (fully siped) on another truck, put a good 40,000 on them......went on another truck for a good 20,000....and they are currently on my plow truck with under 1/4 tread left. Once again worked excellent, and would buy another set.

Careful.... Yes the LTX is a good long lasting tire.. But traction is only marginal...
Michelin came out w the LTX AT2, which is a bit more aggressive.
I tried them... for one week.... Then had them taken off. They were the worst set of tires I have had. The biggest complaint was the tracking...The truck would not hold a line....
I wouldn't put them on my truck if they were Free...
