OK every one. this is somewhat of a poll that I need some help with... I got a set of wheels from an H2 and i have narrowed it down to one of 2 tires. of course the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=All-Terrain+T%2FA+KO&partnum=17R7ATAKO&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes) in 315/70R17 or the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2 in (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Dueler+A%2FT+Revo+2&partnum=17SR7REVO2OWL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes)315/70R17 (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Dueler+A%2FT+Revo+2&partnum=17SR7REVO2OWL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes) So what would everyone reccomend????

Since both tires are pretty much the same size and equal except for tread design I would have to go with the BF Goodrich only because I' ve had them on , 80% of my vehicles owned since driving at age 16, and I've never had a problem with the BF Goodrich tires. Personal opinion now.

Just got rid of a set of the BFG AT's 25,000 miles and they were toast. BFG, never again.

Hankook RF10 Dynapro ATM. Yeah, it comes in that size. And the when compared to the junk you've already listed, you will NOT be disappointed.
Discount tire has 'em for $192 right now, on sale.

In the off chance that you do go with either of the above (or the Hankook), insist upon a road force balance. This will identify carcass variations within the tires, and don't act surprised when it takes several BFG or Bridgestones until you get an acceptable carcass. DO NOT SKIMP on the balancing, and if where you're buying tires doesn't have the "road force balance" machine, buy from someone who does.

The BfG has been the most inconsistent tire we've ever run, with a combined bad tire balance issues out of the box, being prone to excessive cupping, noisy on the highway, poor self-cleaning, poor Pennsylvania mud traction, poor snow traction, and thumping generated after 10k or miles, due to internal belt "shifting".


PS....I can't vote 'cause I dislike both of those tires listed.

Hankook dynapro's most defiantly! They are an amazing tire I personally (and alot of ppl around here) think they are a better tire, if not one of the best there is. The MT's are a great tire and look even better! I love them
