Tire questions..... time for some new ones

Alright its time again for me to cough up waaay more than i want on tires... I'm also currently running BFGs that i like but will not be replaced b/c of some DW that may be attributed to them (got over 40k out of them so far though, rotating pretty often). So heres a few options that i'm trying to get some opinions about. I have an 07 with a kore leveling kit and am looking for a 35" tire.
Procomp- radial Xtreme A/T: http://www.procompusa.com/prodDetail...0809&plID=3360

TOYO- open country M/T or the A/T

Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ Radial SLT Tire: http://www.offroaders.com/reviewbox/...duct=738&cat=4

Goodyear duratracks: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...31930&sw=false

I think my top few would be the procomp, toyo A/T and the mickey thompsons. But dont know anything about any of these tires really. I do mostly daily driving in the city and of course some roads trips. Rarely do i tow heavy at all. Thanks in advance if you've had experience with any of these tires.

The Duratracs are $5 a piece higher in my area! LOL

Anyway, I would say Toyo A/T first then Goodyears. Never ran either but have heard good things about both in the larger sizes.
I run the Nitto Dura Grapplers in a 285 size and have gotten very good wear so far. Not sure if you have looked at Nitto yet?

I haven't seen that crosstek before but i'm looking for something a little more aggressive than that.
Are load range D to soft for our trucks?

Just fyi, the AT 2s are way more aggressive than they look on-line. I am happy with mine so far. They are a little harder compound than the Nittos that I took off, so they like to slide in the rain a little. I hope that ends up meaning that they will last a little longer, only got 30k out of the nittos.

Check out some Hankooks. I have the Dynapros on my truck and I love them. 315/70/17's which is under a true 35 inch but are fine on my truck with a two inch level. I have 25k on them now and still have about 65% tread left.

Well i went ahead and pulled the trigger. Having discount order me some Toyo atIIs in a 35". Should have them put on by the end of the week, they also gave me a pretty good price on them as well as some credit for my bfgs not making it to 50k.

I think i am currently at 45 in front and 35 in the rear. I made the mistake of forgetting to lower my pressures after towing heavy with them aired up close to 60 and the rears definatley wore more in the centers running them empty with that much pressure.

I lied....When increasing the pressure for towing this past weekend I noticed that I was running 55 front and 45 rear.
