Michelin LTX M/S are hard to beat for mileage but expensive.I run Cooper ST's on my 05 dually and they are doing good for being a little bit of an aggressive tread.I am also running 2 sets of Nitto durra's on my 01 duallys and they are holding up really well.But none of these will out last the Michelins.

Bridgestone Dueler AT/Revo
285/75-16

Check out tirerack.com for tire ratings. These were the highest rated at the time I bought them. Good ratings for snow, mud and highway travel.

I used to run the Bridgestone Dueler ATs, ran them for 20 years on other trucks and still have them on my van. Great mileage (80K when rotated) and very good traction for road and light off-road. I switched to the Pro-Comps to go to a more aggressive tread.

Pro-Comps are made by Cooper.

I have Wildcat EXT's in 305/70 R16. They are D rated but I only regularly tow a 21' boat & 30' travel trailer. These tires aren't for everybody, but if you want some that greatly reduce the chances of getting stuck, you can't go wrong with the Wildcats.
