you'd get more responses if you said you want "the most bad-a$$ looking tires they make!!!"

in which case I would tell you Super-swampers.
but for tread life and offroad effectiveness: BFGoodrich All Terrain K/O

I have had good experience with pro-comp tires. I used the pro-comp at's on my old 01 frontier and they did very well on and off road and they come with a 50,000 mile tread warranty.

BFG At KO all the way. I traded my last Silverado in with just over 100,00 miles on the tires and there was still a little tread left. Excellent tire.

BFG All-Terrain. It's the best AT out there. If you want a more aggressive tire the BFG Mud Terrain is an excellent choice. It works great on everything but mud...go figure. It really should be called an AT+ or something like that. Both tires will give you 50k miles if you keep them rotated and at the recommended pressure. Good luck!

While I liked the BFG KO's, I'm going to give the nod to the Nitto Terra Grapplers. They seem to be wearing similar to the BFG's, but ride slightly better with a better self cleaning tread design. If Bridgestone makes a suitable size Deuler Revo then I'd say go with those, but I don't believe they do.

I lean more towards the Nitto Terra Grapplers. Performance is great on and off-road IMO. The ride is a bit stiffer than stock but it handles like it's on rails when cornering. As far as off-roading goes, it does a decent job in the mud when getting to my deer lease.

I'll weigh in...from personal experience I say BFG A/T KO's, they wear great, hook up in most off-road stuff great, and work very well on the street.
