I live 2 miles off pavement and the county road gets pretty bad sometimes. (6"+ deep ruts)

Our Z71 pickup came with Firestone Wilderness AT tires and they are horrible. Weak traction in any mud at all and they seem to get ruined really easy.

After going through 6 tires in about 35,000 miles I changed them out to Bridgstone Dueler AT tires and I really happy with them. They are a very hard rubber and hold up really well to rocks and off pavement driving. They are pretty quiet on the highway and don't completely wreck your hiway mileage like the mud tires do. They are good enough that I put a set on my 2 wheel drive trailblazer and we had our 2nd wettest year ever last year and I didn't get stuck one time.

To me they are the perfect all around tire for my use anyway.

The dueler AT "revo" is more expensive and a softer tire so if you aren't driving on caliche or rock roads much you might look into it. The only drawback to the regular dueler is that because it is such a hard tire is doesn't do quite as well on wet pavement so if you are driving on wet pavement you need to be a little more careful.

FWIW, Nathan
