Tom,
Check out Cooper Tire. They might have a dealer near you and a better price
then BFG or Bridegstone. I just put a set on my 98 Dak and I love them.
Granted, I have no where near the tire size you need for the Ram, but mine
cost me $350, mounted, balanced, new valve stems, road hazard package, free
tire rotation and disposal of the old Badyears. I put on the Discoverer
Radial and I'm really happy so far. Great traction wet or dry, not too much
road noise, and the truck handles much better now.
Just my $.02 worth.

Well I have finally boiled down my options for replacement tires for the
Ram and here is what I have come up with. Keep the stock 17 wheels and
go with BFG AT's in 315/70R17 ... for a cost of $154 per tire - or -
pick up a set of 16 inch wheels and go with Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's
in 285/75R16D sneaker size - for a cost of $155 per tire + cost of the
rims. (tire prices are from tirerack.com) Tirerack lists a 285/70/17
BFG AT - but at $182 a tire ==:O Bigger is cheaper? LOL
Never used either brands before and thought I would get some opinions.
Tirerack's reviews of both tires are very good - the Revos scored higher
across the board than the BFG AT's however. I gotta do something fast
- these Badyear MT/R's are .... real bad.
