I've been really happy with my BFG AT's. Likewise, I've heard nothing but
praise for the Dueler AT Revos. I will be considering both and thinking
long and hard about it before I buy my next set of tires. (Fortunately,
that's going to be a while still..)
Anyway, if I were in your shoes, I'd be thinking more about the rims. If
you like your current 17" rims (I'm sure that size looks nice...), then go
with what fits on those rims. If you find something in 16" that you like a
lot, then get those and go with the Duelers.
IMHO, your tire choices are narrowed down to two of the very best general
all terrain tires around.
That wasn't really much help, was it? ;)
