Top 2 AS/AT tires you're absolutely in love with on your 2500/5.9 Cummins?

Time for new tires before the snow flies here in Northern Illinois...

What are your TOP 2 FAVORITE All-Season OR All-Terrain tires you've ever purchased for your Ram 2500/5.9 Cummins? Been through 2 sets of 265/70/17 Bridestones in 6yrs and wondering if I can improve upon the Bridgestones regarding snow and ice (over 90% pavement) without increasing noise too much?

I agree. The Michelin LTX M/S is the best tire I'v ever used. Nice and quiet, with a smooth ride on dry days. But will chew through ice and snow like a tank.

I traded my last set at 65K miles. They still had good tread on them. But I had a fall trip to Yellowstone planned, and I wanted new tread. Good thing, because we hit some really bad weather.

Michelin in oem size, or

Toyo Open Country AT2 or Nitto Terra Grappler in larger sizes with higher weight ratings.

Michelin would sell every 315 it could make. Even a 285-75-17/18.

Hankook Dynapro ATM. Have owned three sets on three trucks. Excellent traction, life and price.

Toyo Open Country M/T - on my second set, and got almost 50k on the first set. Spendy, but worth it in my book.

Not in love but really impressed.
285/70-17 Firestone Destination AT's Load range E.
First set I got almost 70,000 miles on and could have made it safely at least another 5-7000+. Second set, just got 'em. Nice tire. Quiet ride, never lacked traction pulling a load in either rain, mud or snow.

I like Firestone's 315's too.
A Jeep guy in the neighborhood swears by your tires.
