Best tires question!

I have a 2007 non EL and I am looking for aggressive looking 31" or 33" that can handle water.
I live in NY and we get all weather types. Dry, Wet, Ice, etc.

I like the Firestone M/T's but they don't have siping and I was told it would be scary in the rain. - Agreed.
I also like the Goodyear Dura Trac's. They have siping and get very good reviews.

What do you have that you are happy with that may also be a good fit for me.

P.S. I am putting on a 3/2" boost in a week or so, I'll need new tires then.

BFG All Terrains or Maxxis Big Horns for sure I have Michelins' that are off a D Ram 3500 and they are pretty nice for road and off road they handle and grip well but I want taller tires

I have both ,Pro Comp X AT , great in all conditions, the reason I went to the
Goodyear Dura Trac's for winter is better traction in ice and I didn't want my 20" rims getting salt on them.
The Pro Comps are quiet, have good road manners and wear real nice.
The Good Years have some road noise, not much ( might be the size) and due eat the MPG a little.
Like both tires, for all around with ice included I would go Goodyear.

Well, I did it. I was able to get the Truxx 3/2 installed and got new tires. I ended up going with 275/70/18 Destination M/T's because I was at a Firestone shop.

Here is the original truck...



and now...










Big difference right away. Going from a Nexus 255/70/18 to the 275/70/18 was huge. More noise definitely, but way under unbearable. Stiffer. Taller! I am very happy with the way that came out.

Looks great. I just had a set of 275/65r18 Firestone destination le2's installed on my 2007 non el limited. I love the extra width and stability.

Anyone played on a set of General AT2's?

Looking for something that is primarily for highway/around town, but is good O.R. (mud and dirt) and in the snow...

I had a set of the General AT2's on my 1999 GMC K1500. They were 285/70/17. The only issue was they were 10 ply. Other than that I loved them. Very nice ride on the highway. After about 10000 miles they had worn straight , no cups, just a very nice tire.
