    What are you actually looking for? Do you want a h/t, a/t, or m/t tire? If all you care about is highway driving, then you want an h/t. I personally don'/t offroad much but I went with a/t tires, 265/75/16 Firestone Destination A/T's; $504 installed at Firestone. It came down to them or the Revo's so I went with the one that saved me $100. They're both a great mix between on road and off road. I would consider them both "mild" a/t tires.

    BTW, my Dunslops were on for 7000 miles before I slid into an intersection and decided right then to ditch them. If you're ever in the Myrtle Beach area, they're yours for $50 and that's only because I feel like I need to get something out of them.

    I have been through 3 sets of Revo's 265/70/16 on my last three trucks but have now switched to Firestone Destination A/T's 265/70/16.

    I really liked the Bridgestone's when they were new but as they get older and more wear on them they become very hard to keep balanced. I have experienced this with all three sets. Now I have two sets of wheels so I will be picking up another set of the Destinations for my chrome wheels this weekend.
    I have 3 used Revo's if anyone wants to make me a offer on them I will let them go cheap. I actually have 5 but two of them are pretty well used up.

    Ok, now you have my .02 cents worth.

    I have yet to do any off roading with my truck and probably won't. I learned a while back not to beat my daily driver. :D Therefore, I'm looking more for tire that's good for a mix of highway/city driving and if I did purchase the BFG AT KOs it would be for aesthetics and tire life only.
