I have BFG A/Ts... I'm trying not to buy them again. They were only good for 25,000 miles. they're nearly slicks now...
I had Dunlop Rover RVs on my 94 2500 with 454. I seem to remember them holding up well..
I see the Dunlop Rover AT is substantially cheaper than the BFG. (roughly $135 vs $185)
The Dunlops have a 60k warranty.
I'll probably put the 285/75 16 back on the stock wheel. The 265s just look to small.. (I have 285 BFGs now)
I do not want a tire with a squishy sidewall....
Comments are appreciated.

I put 265 E rated Dunlops RVXT Rovers on my 03 DA with some new 16x8 Preditor wheels a couple weeks ago. I really like the tires so far.

I've been running Dunlop Radial Rover ATs for a while now, put the first 4 on in 2003, but I believe they are no longer in production. I tend to wear them out in pairs and I bought two in 2005 when I heard they were going away. They are now on the truck and the older two are neary gone - not sure what I'm going to do.
Just checked my records, bought the first 4 June of '03 at 57,930 miles. Replaced 2 Dec. '06 at 95000 miles. Bought the 2 "spares" Mar. '05 when I heard they were going away. Had the spares swapped on last August at 127,900 miles. That means I've been getting about 40,000 out of a pair - my older pair is nearly cooked at 148,000 miles and my newer pair should be good for another 40,000.

I have a buddy that installed them on his truck and he got about 18K miles out of them and they were toast. Used them both on and off road but did not last. Might have been a bad set, but not sure.

Yep! That's good news. I just looked them up on TireRack and they are there, but in "limited quantities."
