Finally found some good tires...

I have worn out a set of Michelin and a set of BF Goodrich. I hated both of them, my tires would spin with the slightest amount of throttle wet the road is wet. It was even worse when I tried to stop when the road is wet. Offroad, I almost got stuck in wet grass. So, I bought some Yokohama Geolander AT/S's and I love them. Excellent wet grip, I still have to try them offroad (I have 2wd so I cannot get too crazy).
Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S

I have heard good things about those tires from a few on this board...Glad you found a set you like...

I have always run BFG A/Ts with great luck (~60-65k miles out of them) quiet and killer traction....but everyone has their own experience.

I have about 12000 on a set of nitto dura grapplers, but 600 hp doesnt let me get too much grip on a slick road. But they are wearing very well.

I have about 25,000 miles on my Geo's. Love 'em.
They are a little soft so make sure you rotate them often.
I thought they were somewhat noisy, but what the hell, the whole truck is noisy.

Load range E is available in 235/85R16, but not the stock dually tire size for these trucks. For what it's worth, I load my truck a lot and don't ahve any rubbing issues with the 235's in there now. I'll probably leave it that way.
