I also have the Revo's in a 285/75r16 D Bought them last memorial day sale at the Firestone store, buy 2 get 2 free when you purchased the road hazard warranty. 4 tires with RH for 660 mounted and balanced. I like them only complaint is they seem to pick up a lot of stones. I took off brand new Hankook's to get them just because a buddy of mine told me about the sale. I'll put the Hankook's back on when I wear these out

I had the Dynapro ATM's I like the tires, but didn't have them on there long enough to tell how the treadwear is

i got the dynapro MT's i haven't really been able to tell if they've even moved tread wise got them about a month or so ago. if you want a tire that'll last forever get a set of toyo open country AT's my buddy ran a set for 3 years and he was the third owner of them the guy that had them at first ran them about a year or two and the 2nd guy had them a year or a little more then he got them and when he sold his truck they still has almost half tread on them

Bought the Hankook's online six somthing for 4 with shipping, it's a good deal if you can mount and balance or know somebody. Most shops won't be happy though if you show up with tires you bought elsewhere to get them put on. I'n a case like that go to Wal Mart or someplace where the employee's don't care.

I ran a set of Cooper Discoverer S/T for ever 35-40K miles and then sold the truck to my father-in-law and he ran them for a nother year or so. they did get alittle loud once you forget to do your rotateing though



And they looked pretty sweet too..
For an A/T tire...

My self I like Michelins. Unfortunately they are expensive, and if you drive a 1 ton no 50,000 mile warrenty. Here is a link. 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 4x4 Quad Cab Tires | Michelin Tires The other unfortunate thing is they don't have the size you prefer. this was a LT265/75R16/E they are not the agressive tread you like either.

I have used some of the tires that you have used and very good results with michelins. I don't go off road like you do at least now. but my last set of michelins lasted well over 58k miles. My highway tread have got me out of many offroad situations, on a non off road truck. This is just my opinion. This is another opinion thread, so my advice would be get the best tires you can affoard that match your driving habit. there arw allot out there BF GoodRich has an excellent set you might like! I have nothing but good for Dick Cepek.

Here is another link for Off road tires. You may already know this info. the calculator is great! it is just at the bottom of the page. Take in mind this is just for real off road stuff not the crossover from highway to the dirt that most do. Off Road Tire for the Off Roads

This one is loaded with articles. I feel it might be brand biased. but if you swim through the junk you will get good info. Off Road Tire Tips and Reviews... What's The best tire For Your 4x4 Truck or SUV

I hope this helps? you know your likes and dislikes better then me. You might not look at some of this it is allot to retain.
Thanks

In my opinion, Michelin is the best tire on the market, wether it be a car, truck, tractor trailer, or a 100 ton mining truck. But just as you know they are expensive.

We paid over $870.00 for a full set in july at the local Costco, everybody else wanted to much. Thats the price I pay for wanting a excellent trustworthy tire.
