I would go with the Toyo's. But i believe they are the most $$$. The Dueller's would be the 1st to cross off the list

Have General Grabber AT2's on our Tahoe, seem like good tires so far, similar to the BFG AT's, better ratings too. They can also be studded.

i have run the cooper mud and snows STUDDED for 6 years and they are great , only can get 2 seasons out of them---the better the tire on ice the faster it wears as a rule because of the sipeing----
I have the toyo A/T's for the summer and M/T's on black wheels for the winter so the Environmentally friendly deicer doesnt eat out the chrome wheels!!!!!!

toyo AT's on my crew cab duramax short box and love them. They are 285/70/17 and really like them. I will get another set when these wear out. So far about 25000 miles and about 1/3 left.

Without a doubt "TOYO"!
Make sure you understand the total cost of ownership before you buy on-line from places like Tire Rack... Price looks very attractive up front but after mounting and balancing and shipping the price loses allot of luster. Not to mention if you have one problem throughout the life of the tire your percieved savings is down the tubes. Go to your local dealer.

I had the REVO's on my F-150 and HATED THEM. THEY WERE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE on SNOW! Worst tire I have ever purchased, I mean that 100%.
I had the Coopers on my F350 and LOVED THEM, they were a bit louder then most but man, they hooked up well and the wear on them was acceptable. If you can run studs, they have the holes in them for installing the studs already. Kind of a nice feature for those of you that can run them.
When my new 08 F-150 needs tires I will for sure go with the Coops!

What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^ Service is everything.
On my umteenth set of Toyo's (lot's of trucks). LOVE them. Had both AT's and MT's (needed the 'E' rating on them). Like the quiet of the AT much better and never noticed a huge difference in traction on snow/ice between the two.
I have the coopers on my truck and absolutly love them have yet to have any problems in snow or ice even with the 35"x 12.5" size.
Seems like lots of love for the TOYO'S. I have to disagree. i went from BFG A/T to TOYO A/T and the worn BFG's were better in the snow than the new TOYO's. I have to concede that the TOYO's are wider and that was at least part of it. Good thing i saved my old rims! Gonna get a set of studded BFG M/T for the winter months. 04' F350 PSD if it matters.
On my second set of Revo's on my Tahoe, best tires I have ever owned, 65,000 miles on the first set and they still had better traction then my last set of Coopers, I upsized to 265's and went with 6 plys, more precise handling but a little rougher ride. The Revo's are one of the few tires where the sipes go nearly to the bottom of the tread so they still have good traction on ice after many miles. You know you have a well designed and precision built tire when 2 of them did not require any weights to balance them.
Ive had Toyo AT's and now HT's on my Dirtymax. The AT's were siped and I got about 40-45K out of them, and they had crappy traction IMO. I have the HT's now and they have much better traction and drive much nicer too.
