Dave,

Personally I like the Bridgestone Dueler A/T's. Recently they came out with a A/T Revo, which is got better wet traction (on-road). IMO this is an average priced, all around tire, with excellent on-road handling, and the abilities of an A/T tire.

I too hope we didn't discourage you from getting a larger tire. I just wanted to help you weigh out some of the pro's and con's. Have you thought about looking into getting some used tires, in larger sizes? Using this method is how I decided LT 265-75-16, is the best for me, and fits best on my truck. This way your not dishing out all that $$.

Glad to be of help!
