I put the same size REVO's on my truck the end of January. Once I aired down to about 28 psi in the snow, I was truly impressed. And when back to my normal 33-34 psi, they stick like glue, wet or dry, and are quiet for such an... interesting?... tread pattern.

I'd give the BFG All Terrains a look. I'm on my second set. I generally get 45k miles out of a set. I'll be due for a new set probably by the end of the summer. Although, I've been hearing good things about the Goodyear MTR's, might try those out...

Why not 265/75r16? Slightly taller - better ground clearance and with your 3.4 the effect on the gearing is small.

I voted for the Revos. I've heard some very good things about them, and they're rated extremely high on Tirerack.com I'm probably going to buy those when I can afford to. I was going to buy a set of the regular Dueler A/Ts this past week, but I had a slight snag in my finances (Had to buy a couch) so my tire research has begun again, and now I'm trying to decide between the Revos or Pirelli Scorpions (The BFG A/Ts are just a little too expensive for me). But the more I'm reading about the Revos, the more I like them, and I'm more than likely going to buy those when I can afford them.

So that's my choice.

I just got my AT Revo's Friday and this weekend drove about 150 miles. I am very impressed with the ride, and how quiet they are. I also got into a little bit of mud and they were great.

I was also looking at the Geolander, but decided against them as my research showed they wear quicker than the Revo.

My wife drove my Runner yesterday and commented that there was less road noise in my Runner than her BMW 325.

Go with the Revo!!

I second that. The KO's are awesome. Wish I had them...

23K Miles??? That's horrible. Anyone else had better results with these? I was seriously considering them for my next set, but not if that's all I'll get out of them. Anyone had the Goodyear MTR's long enough to guess how many miles you'll get out of those?

I'll probably just end up with another set of BFG AT KO's (again)

I voted for the Revos because I've heard so many good things about them.

On the other hand, the Geolanders are about $40 less per tire. I've also heard some good stuff about them too.

I'm torn between these two tires for my next set but that will be a little while longer.

Why don't you ask knemo what kind of tires he got, and how he likes them- almost a year later.

Dates, guys. And this voting on extremely old polls is annoying as hell.

I thought the sarcasm was obvious. Should I put a disclaimer?

I've had great luck with my Bridgestones. They are holding up really, really well considering they've got about 55k miles on them.
