Dont buy BF's, I can never get any mileage out of the ATs, the Mud terrains are great but very high ,I am trying out a set of Coopers w/ only 20k but they are looking great.

I run Bridgestone Dueller A/Ts. You are right the Firestones suck I had 15,000mi on my 06' and sold them. When I bought the 07'OBS and now 07'NBS took the Firestones and sold them also all the trucks have 285's. Being on a fixed income let me know what kind and size you want. I plow for a tire distributor and get tires at employee cost. If you were to be in St.Paul, MN. I know they have locations in IA but not sure if I could get the discount.

I'm running Cooper Discoverer ATR's on my '04 HD and they work great.. good ride, quiet, and the stability and handling in the snow is excellent.

I looked for two weeks at about 20 brands and was dead set on the ATR's but when i used a work van that just had them put on i thought they were very unstable when i was heading off a ramp with a few bumps, the van shifted very bad and almost lost it..seriously..After that was the scorpions but had bad reviews especially when truck sits , they get flat spots...So i went with Chaparral ap's..I had them installed 4 weeks ago and got to try them out in the storm, all i can say is awesome tire..were about 590 installed with free rotation and flat repair for life...

I have Cooper 285 STT's on the Chevy and i'm not impressed at all with them in the snow. My Kelly Safari MSR's I had on my Dodge 1500 were the best tire i've ever seen. I could plow in 2WD most of the time with about 700 lbs in the rear.
