truck tires
I got the Cooper ATR's on my truck (Ford F:150), I have only had them for about 1,500 miles but so far they have been a great tire, seeing that my truck is only 2wd I dont really take them in the mud much but I do work in construction so they see their fair share of dirt. Also, living in Michigan I used them in the snow many times this past winter and they hooked up great. The highway band in the middle of the Cooper ATR provides a very smooth ride on the highway, but the tread is still agressive enough for off road conditions. A buddie of mine has the TOYO Open Country A/T's on his F:250 and they haven't been good to him, they wore down to almost nothing in less than 25,000 miles and now he has to fork out another $700 for a new set of tires.

I'll put in a big vote against the Revo's. I spent about $200 extra to get Revo's on my set before last. Convinced myself that the extra $$$ was worth it for a 50K mile warrantee. Actually I really liked the look of the Revo's - they did look good on the truck.
The Revo's made it 28K miles and were shot. While I'm not hard on tires I do drive a heavy truck so I expect less than advertised tire wear, but I've been running 3/4 ton pick-ups since '94 and can usually count on about 40K before I start seeing wear marks. Currently I'm running Mastercraft Courser AT's - they have much more tread at 38K miles than the Revo's had at 28K. I expect the Coursers to make it to 45K or a little more. BTW, the Bridgestone warrantee is worthless. While my tire dealer did work with me we never could get a dime out of Bridgestone - factory rep claimed they couldn't show proof of regular rotations (despite all four tires being worn exactly the same). At least my dealer gave me a break on the current set of tires.

another vote against the bridgestones. i bought a set when i had my z71 last yr and only bought them to try them out and got like 200.00 off due to a promotial event by sears (sears is another story). i had goodyear rts on it before and it seemed to handle better with the goodyears. the bridgestones handle weird (yes everything was in alignment) but the bridgestones were rated at 60,000 miles (vs 50,000 for gooodyear). however, after about 30k they are showing very noticable wear ( i know who i sold my truck to and see it weekly). Ive heard good about toyos, yokohama, cooper. nothing really wrong with mastercraft either. ive always liked goodyear but one of mine blew up but due to the road hazzard warranty so sears gave me 93.00 for it so i replaced everything with the bridgestones. next time i'll go back with the goodyears or try some yokos maybe michelins... theres people that swear by michelin.
its funny b/c if you read about the tire manufacturers- there are only like 3 viable in the world and they all make tires for each other. goodyear makes stuff for dunlop and vice versa, etc. go do some research on it. its kinda odd the way all their partnerships work.

Check out the Dunlop Radial Rover RVXT...
I went with them because they were a lot cheaper than the Revos and the BFG A/Ts, but still seemed pretty comparable.
I like both the Revos and the BFG A/Ts best, but they are so expensive and on a full size truck no tire is going to last long (depending on where you live). The Dunlop RVXTs were great this winter, and we had a really bad winter up here in Syracuse.
