I looked hard at this a year ago and ended up with Nokian tires. So far great wear and traction.

I've had great luck with BFG All Terrian KO's... they look good, perform great and last 70K miles. The downside is the price... they are proud of them!

Me too! Went one size up on 2008 2500k silverado. They're fairly quite and look aggressive enough.

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 also run the LTX and love them, no problem in the rain, no problem in the snow, low noise, and good fuel mileage.

Freaking French, they can keep their tires.

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.

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.
Fully siped huh? Makes them last longer? You have no idea what you're talking about. To sipe a tire, you destroy the structure of it. Thats why snow tires have deep siping to them because yes, they'll give you great traction in the snow, but are recommended to be removed from a vehicle when temps reach steady 50 degrees or more.

There you go let's get some politics into this. I loved my French Michelin tires. Do you have BFGs on your tow vehicle? If so better take those French tires off.
