As per the first posting on this topic, if you do mostly highway driving, go with the Silent Armors ATS. We are trying the Dura-tecs out since we do alot of offroad work.
Another tire I will suggest is the Yokohama Geolanders. I use to run the older tread pattern-loved it-still wish they made it. When we got a new 2007 4x4, I got the factory tires removed and put on the new style tread Yokohamas Geolanders (they stopped making the older pattern
)on the truck for my guy. He got 115 000 kms on that set and could of got maybe another 15 000. IMPRESSIVE !!
They were ok in the mud, good in the snow/ice. We just wanted a more aggressive tire for mud-so when the Dura-tecs come out-the price was right and I jumped on it to try. If needed, the Dura-tecs come pre-drilled for studding.
As for BF Goodrich All Terrain TA'a, a few friends had nothing but issues and we have one set right now on another truck...and I wont go back-be a new set of Wrangler Dura-tecs for sure.
If you need, run a second set of tires strickly for winter use then.
