No 285 on a 6.5" wheel is going to last long or wear even. Go to a wider wheel, such as a H2 wheel for a cheap replacement and run just about any 285 A/T you want and get good milage out of it.

I was assuming you were running stock 16" wheels. In that case, cant go wrong with the Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10......

Check out the Cooper Discoverer ATR tires ... I ran mine for 45000 miles and
they preformed very well for my towing and occasional off road needs ...
And Cooper tires are made in the good ol USA ...

I've heard a lot of good things about the good year silent armor, they're not cheap, they have the snow flake as well. The largest they had in a 18" rim was 33.4inch and i got swindled into 35" tires. Next set i will seriously look the silent armors.
