    I love my AT2's! Great looking tire and perform great in all the snow and ice that Eastern Washington has seen lately. Very little road noise too. You also can't beat the price and warranty as well. I am running 285/75/16's.

    I debated between the Grabber AT2s and the Cooper Discoverer S/Ts for quite sometime. Emailed a couple of TW members who were running either one of the aforementioned tires and finally settled upon the Cooper S/Ts 265/75/16. I love my tires, performed amazingly during this past Snowpacolypse in the midwest, and road noise is much more quiet than I anticipated. However, that doesn't mean that I am saying the Grabbers are inferior. I have heard good stuff on both, went with the Coopers, but probably would be just as happy with the Grabbers. But for aesthetic value, I like the look of the Coopers over the Grabbers, IMO. Back on point, I would go with the Grabbers over Firestones. Buddy of mine has an 07 Tundra with Grabbers and swears by them (he had BFG KO and Maxxis Bighorns before). Just my two cents...

    Went on Tire Rack and researched tires. Destination rated pretty high. Went to get tires and was talking to the tire guy and he told me to look at his Dodge Ram and tires. He had the Firestone Destinations and couldn't say enough good about them. Bought them and am very happy with them. Handle great in the snow, quiet on the highway.

    Ive had the revo's in the past. Loved the tire but chewed them up rather quickly (under 40k miles). have been in the market for a while for new tires. loking @ cooper, Firestone, Kumo's (like what I read about the KL61) but overall, after hours of research on the net (inlcuding here) I think the Firestone's will be the overall best bet.

    just got the Generals and they were just as quiet as the stock tires. Gonna take it up to the mountains to see how it does in the snow in a few weeks. Love the aggressive tread

    I'm also looking at new tires and don't mean to get off the topic but could someone explain this to me? I wanted to go with a 275/70/17 but they are not rated for 9" wide rim but some 265/70/17 are. Since the 275 is wider why are they only rated for narrower rims?

    This is my second set on this truck. First set got at about 50k miles. Very capable tire. Not to mention the rim guard on the tire. Can't go wrong with them.
