I've really liked my BFG KO2 tires. They are the BFG all terrain tire, with a more aggressive sidewall.

Have Goodyear Duratracs on my Ram 1500 - wanted the best combination of winter traction, soft ride, and mileage.  Given those parameters I will be getting them again. I Have 36,000 on this set I should get to 50,000 no problem.  Do a lot of commuting, some towing, lots of forest service roads, some quad/jeep roads. 

Was a little concerned about sidewall strength but have beat on them without issues.  Was in those rocky jeep roads in the Gospel Hump wilderness last week with no problems.   LT285/70r17     (I would not get any P rated tires)

Bridgestone dueler revo 2's. They are the best tires inhale ever ran for clearing mud/snow/water from the tread. Also you don't sacrifice fuel economy.
This is the year im going to get drawn, i can feel it. NOT SELECTED, NOT SELECTED, NOT SELECTED, NOT SELECTED, NOT SELECTED, NOT SELECTED... damn :(

Nitto terra grapler. Good on rocks/mud really shine on snowy/ice roads. But sacrifice 10% fuel economy and nose after 75 mph.

Same tires here and I'll buy again.

The good year duratracs are good. My new favorite tire that has made its way onto my jk and silverado are the nitto trail grapplers.

Amazing road life. Very quiet and the wear is awesome

General Grabber AT, the best tire I've ever used. Rated for 60K but I've had them go 80K and still legal. They have been on my trucks from 1978 to date. My new truck is still sporting the OEM Firestones but not for long.

Nitto terra grapplers were terrible on my truck in the wet and especially in the snow, duratracs all the way!

Get on TireRack and do the tire test search for your rig entering the parameters you will be mostly driving and see what they come up with for a recommendation. Then read the reviews, you can also search the type of vehicle in the reviews to see if they apply to your rig. I'll be buying a "one set" does it all for my 06 duramax next fall, but I'm a poser and never drive on gravel roads or off road. Never driven through a muddy road to the center pivot either pulling a trailer full of decoys.
