Unhappy What kind of Tires should I buy ???

Hey all, I was going to get some NEW SKINS put on the "Dually", any suggestions ???? I want to put the same original size back on 235/85/16....My choice was going to be "Bridgestone" Dueler A/T Revo..E rated ??? Remember, will do a little towing, most will be Sunny days......Just thought this tire had some Good reviews and if it did get out in bad weather or off road ( NOT A CHANCE ) I would have a good tire.....(1992 W350 Dually) I'm NOT too worried about price...I mean they all seem to be about $20.00 a part......What would you choose ????

I have the revo's on my pickup, its not a dually, but I love them and they handle great. Dry, wet, snow no problems. I havent had them that long as for milage goes, but I think they will last for quite a while. Just my 2 cents.

My truck (not a dually) has the Michelins on it the previous owner installed, and I think they great tires, but I'm choking at $893 for new ones.

I might go with the BFGoodrich TA KO all terrains for $692. I've had them on my Dakota for 13 years and they are great. But then, I tend to take a powerline road if it looks interesting, so take that into account.

Redleg,
Tell me about your Coopers. Which ones do you have and would you buy them again?

Discoverer's
I'm satisfied with them. I like the tread, farely aggressive compared to a couple other E-rated I looked at. Good winter traction, in the rain, the front stays tight, I have duals that can break loose going through a puddle at speed. Had 6, wetter, round bales on it twice without blowing them (only 45-50 mph).

Thanks for the info, Redleg. After your post I checked the Cooper site and I see several varieties of Discovery tires, from more street-based to more aggressive tread, including one that I like that is designed to minimize nicks, cuts, etc. Called something like Discovery St-C (or something). Is that yours?

I'll have to look, it's parked without a rear end right now. Burned up the tranny and now I suppose the diff. pushing massive amounts of snow with those tires.

Without a doudt the Michelin LTX M/S. I used these tires since 94 and have 1,168,000 miles. Other than the origional Goodyears, this has been the exclusive tire. I average 100-110K mile tire life, they run smooth and I only rotated and balanced every 20K miles.

You pay a bit more than about any other tire, but worth every cent, IMO.
