Michelin LTX M/S or LTX A/T. very long lasting and excellent performance.

on my second set of revo's. first set were much better than the first. i think i will go with the cooper sst on my next set

Mine are 275/60-r20 but I just got the Wrangler SA. The Dodge feels like a new truck. The stock Goodyear HP would spin at a stop in the rain, any snow and 4wd was needed.

revos will handle wet roads better than anything except the scorpions but the difference in performance is not at all worth the difference in price.

cooper discoverer atr love them they are amazing in deep snow and dry traction

I've run the Nexen tire brand the last two times out, and have been very happy with them.

I love my BF Goodrich A/T I have them on my 04 F-150 and they are pretty quiet for me at least IMO. Good luck on the hunt.

Sell the 20s and get a set of normal sized rims and then you can afford the tires...other than that, Michelin. We use then exclusively on our work trucks. A 2002 F-250 4x4, 2 2006 F-250 4x4s, 2009 F-250 4x4 4door, 1997 F-350 4x4 with a 5th wheel, and my 2005 C-3500 dually 4x4 4door....BFGs were OK, but wore down rather quickly and needed rotation at every oil change. Yokohamas were a joke, Bridgestones were a waste of money, Goodyears-you pay for the name. The Michelins have given the best use out of all of them. All of our trucks see more hiway use than off road, but they do get in the mud alot. I'm on my second set of Michelin tires on the dually, and the truck has 165,723 miles and it won't need tires till next year sometime...

i meant to add that.. downgrade from big pimpin to "normal"(i love 15" rims) and your options grow and price shrinks.

The silent armor's are not bad. Had em on my F250 for a while. Replaced em at 20,000 miles cause the tread was worn down. I apparently somehow managed to run them under-inflated, so don't make that mistake.

My vote is for the BFG A/Ts though. Just my pick.
