The michelin LTX are good. I had them on my old truck. I just picked up
the Bridgestone Dueler revo. So far a great tire. It's been awhile since I
had the Michelins but I think I can say i like the revo's better. Great
traction in the rain. Both tires are quiet on the highway. If price is a
factor, get the Michelins. I had them on my 2wd truck and thewy did great
in the snow.
