I just put a set of Bridgestone Dueler H/T (on the shiny rims) on my truck.
(highway travel 100m/day) They are a lot more responsive than the GY were.
Nice and quiet too. The A/T is supposed to be a really good all season tire.
I didn't get them because I already have snow tires.
I own a set of Dunlop Rovers (on the stock rims) for winter. Great snow
tire. I was driving thru 2 feet of snow a couple years ago with those and
had great traction.
